Alan Porter Breeding Analysis for Malibu Moon


The sire of 40 stakes winners, 12 graded, and with his best bred crops still to run, Malibu Moon is firmly established as one A.P. Indys most important sons, and one of the Nations leading sires.

Malibu Moon is out of a mare by Mr Prospector, but when bred back over Mr. Prospector line mares he has sired six stakes winners. His Champion Declans Moon is out of a mare by Norquestor (a son of Conquistador Cielo). From the Gone West, branch he has graded stakes winner Malibu Prayer out of a mare by Grand Slam, and a stakes winner out of a mare by Mr. Greeley. He also has stakes winners out of mares descending from Mr. Prospector, through Allens Prospect, Press Card and Pentelicus. Press Card and Pentelicus are both sons of Fappiano, which suggests other Fappiano line horses, such as Unbridled and Unbridleds Song, Quiet American and Rubiano. Mr. Prospector is a Raise a Native line sire, and Malibu Moon has also worked well over mares descending from Raise a Native through Mr. Prospectors close relative, Alydar, including CCA Oaks (G1) winner Funny Moon out of a mare by Easy Goer. Staying with Raise a Native, Malibu Moon is also sire of grade two winner Luna Vega out of a mare by Rock Royalty; graded winner Rodman out of a mare by Affirmed; and Malibu Moonshine, a multiple stakes winner over over $500,000, out of a mare by Coastal (by Majestic Prince).

Malibu has also enjoyed considerable success with Northern Dancer line mares Malibu Moon has sired three stakes winners out of mares from the Danzig branch (a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Danehill, and stakes winners out of mares by Sea Hero and Be My Chief), and stakes winners out of mares by Nureyev, Hennessy (by Storm Cat), Royal Academy (by Nijinsky II), Citidancer (by Dixieland Band), and Mr. Purple (by Deputy Minister). Malibu Moon also has a stakes winner out of a mare by Wild Again, who is by Northern Dancer's fellow Nearctic son, Icecapade. Icecapades son, Clever Trick, might also work here.

Malibu Moons grade one winning filly, Malibu Mint, is out of a mare by Key to the Mint, by Graustark, from the Ribot sire line. He also has a stakes winner out of a mare by Cormorant, who is by His Majesty, a brother to Graustark. His Majesty could also be brought in through Pleasant Colony and his son Pleasant Tap (both broodmare sires of A.P. Indy graded stakes winners). It is also worth considering bringing in Ribot through Tom Rolfe and his son, Hoist the Flag.

Malibu Moon has been extremely successful with mares from the Turn-To line. From the Roberto branch he has 2009 grade one winning juvenile Devil May Care out of a mare by Red Ransom, and the very talented By the Light from a daughter of Major Impact. His grade two winning son Perfect Moon is out of a mare by a son of Halo; grade two winner Moon Catcher, out of a mare by Smarten (by Cyane); stakes winner Malibu Sue is out of a mare by Lord Parham (by Lord Gaylord, by Sir Gaylord), and stakes winner Moonlit Habit out of a mare by Habitony (by another Sir Gaylord son, Habitat). Malibu Moons sire, A.P. Indy has also sired grade one winners out of mares by Turn-to/Hail to Reason descendants Cox's Ridge and Cure the Blues.

Malibu Moon has done extremely well with mares descending from Bold Ruler through Bold Bidder, getting stakes winners out of mares by Spectacular Bid, Caveat and his sire, Cannonade. Malibu Moon also has a stakes winner out of a mare by Compelling Sound, who is from Malibu Moons own male line, that of Seattle Slew.

Malibu Moon has three stakes winners out of mares from the In Reality line, out of mares by Valid Appeal, and by Skywalker, and his son Bertrando, from the Relaunch branch.

Malibu Moons broodmare sire, Mr. Prospector, is out of a mare by Nashua, and duplicating that horse has worked well, including through the previously mentioned Roberto, John Alden (a Prince John line stallion, out of a Nashua mare), and Noble Nashua. There is also a stakes winner from the Prince John line through Summing (from the Speak John/Verbatim branch). From the Blushing Groom line, Malibu Moon has graded stakes winner out of a mare by Mt. Livermore and a stakes winner out of a mare by Rahy, and he is also sire of stakes winners out of mares by Thirty Eight Paces (by Nodoouble),and Amerrico (by Dr. Fager).
