Her success made Malibu Moon one of the most desirable stallions in Russia, and his sire line---A.P. Indy---has proven to be just as popular in Moscow. So, to bring symmetry to your post, last August the Malibu Moon colt Static Memory, a $15,000 y, won the Russian Derby---giving him a unique double! Moreover, the leading runner in Russia is Monomakh--also a Russian Derby winner. He is by Mineshaft, another son of A.P.

Of course I may be biased but actually reading about Malibu Moon's success gets me more excited at the thought of seeing Lacrosse in a post parade. Even though he hasn't raced yet, this has been a thrill from day 1 and I would urge anyone with an interest in ownership to look into an LLC which makes thoroughbred ownership a reality for us "common folk". (And don't forget to add Lacrosse Moon to your DRF or Equibase watches to follow his progress).Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911092966796427090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-63078693988606032642010-03-21T12:44:33.905-05:002010-03-21T12:44:33.905-05:00You are right on there LDP.

I only meant that Malibu Moon carries on the superlative sire line of Seattle Slew and A.P.Indy, but of course, A.P Indy was produced by one of the greatest broodmares of modern times, the Secretariat mare Weekend Surprise.Brian Zipsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592017304873334271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-14082314477475355702010-03-21T12:37:48.795-05:002010-03-21T12:37:48.795-05:00Seatle Slew has some nice bloodlines.

I hope he continues to carry on that great line, because there is no doubt that it is probably one of the best in America.NetworkEmpowermenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09053022764177401200noreply@blogger.com
