Malibu Moon is a Thoroughbred racehorse bred in Kentucky by B. Wayne Hughes. He is sired by the leading stallion A.P. Indy out of a Mr. Prospector mare, Macoumba, who was a Grade 1 winner in France.

Race career

Despite his very short career he showed great promise. His first race was a maiden special weight as a two year old at Hollywood Park, and despite brushing the gate at the start he made his way through the crowd in the stretch to finish second. His second and final start was also a maiden special weight at Hollywood Park, in which he finished first. Unfortunately for him, he suffered a slab fracture in his knee in May of his two year old season, which forced his early retirement.

Stud career

Malibu Moon first entered stud in 2000 for a mere $3,000 at Country Life Farm in Maryland. After producing Eclipse Champion two year old Declan's Moon and grade winner Perfect Moon in his first two crops, he was relocated in 2004 to the Castleton Lyons Farm in Kentucky to service a wider range of mares for a fee of about $10,000. He was then relocated again in 2008 to Spendthrift Farms, where he now currently resides at a price of $95,000(2016).
