Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 29, 2018 Journalists Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hill ‘n’ Dale Equine Holdings and Windsor Boys Racing’s Moonlit Promise (Malibu Moon), considered a leading contender for Canada’s champion sprint mare honors, has been retired from racing and will be bred to leading fifth-crop sire Quality Road in 2019, it was announced Thursday. The Hill ‘n’ Dale homebred was a Sovereign Award finalist in 2017 on the heels of a campaign which saw her earn a trio of stakes wins in the GII Bessarabian S., GIII Ontario Fashion S. and Sweet Briar Too S. After recapturing the Bessarabian and Sweet Briar Too in 2018, the bay retires with an overall record of 8-3-2 from 18 starts with earnings of $507,462. Moonlit Promise hails from the family of legendary sire and dual-champion A.P. Indy and GI Preakness S. winner Summer Squall. “It is extremely gratifying to raise a mare of the caliber of Moonlit Promise,” said Hill ‘n’ Dale president John Sikura. “She will be an invaluable addition to our broodmare band. Trainer Josie Carroll and her staff did a great job keeping her in top form for three seasons of racing. We are committed to giving her every opportunity breeding to Quality Road, who has enjoyed a phenomenal year.” Click here to read a November 2017 TDN feature on the unique partnership between Hill ‘n’ Dale and Windsor Boys Racing that campaigned Moonlit Promise.
