Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 11 Journalists Posted October 11 5th-Keeneland, $106,535, Msw, 10-11, 2yo, f, 5 1/2fT, 1:03.17, gd, neck. MAP OF THE MOON (f, 2, Liam's Map–Malibu Pride, by Malibu Moon) became the latest in a string of long-price debut winners for this owner and trainer, scoring here at 9-1. The $200,000 Keeneland September grad was content to drop out to the latter third of the field as fellow firster Lady Jancis (Speighstown) and favored third-time starter Triskelion (Leinster) exchanged blows through an opening couple of furlongs in a strong :21.31. Asked to improve with a wide run around the turn, the dark bay filly challenged about four off the inside at the furlong grounds and kept on bravely as Yaudacity (Yaupon), in from the also-eligible list, made a race of it late. In the space of five days during the Kentucky Downs meeting, NBS's Ground Support (Army Mule) returned a confounding $203.20 to her backers winning over a mile first time out, while Repentless (Violence) lit up the tote to the tune of $52.16 when graduating over seven furlongs. For good measure, Ground Support added last weekend's GIII Miss Grillo Stakes at odds of over 12-1. Ground Support and Repentless were ridden by Adam Beschizza, Map of the Moon by Axel Concepcion. The winner's dam is a full-sister to MSW & GISP By the Light, herself the dam of two-time Grade I winner By the Moon (Indian Charlie) and GSP Wonderful Light (Tiz Wonderful). Silesia Farm purchased Malibu Pride for $35,000 at the 2016 Keeneland January Sale and her foal of 2024, a colt by Cyberknife already named Nawar, fetched $100,000 at KEESEP last month. Malibu Pride is due to Taiba for 2026. Sales history: $200,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $63,085. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
