Dark Hollow Farm and Hillwood Stable LLC’s MISTY IN MALIBU made an impressive first impression at Laurel Park on Friday, Sept. 7, as she came home a length on top in the one and a sixteenth-mile maiden special weight after leading all the way.
The flashy dark bay 3-year-old filly was eager to go to the front under Travis Dunkelberger after breaking a tad slow, kicked clear to lead by nearly a half-dozen lengths after a half-mile, then got a breather as it appeared the field was going to catch her. But the Rodney Jenkins-prepared filly had much more to give. She blasted through a :22.99 fourth-quarter and got the final sixteenth of a mile in :6.10 to finish in a final time of 1:41.12 over the firm turf.
The Virginia-bred daughter of Malibu Moon is out of the winning Rubiano mare Misty Rain, and was purchased privately ??? by David and JoAnn Hayden and Ellen Charles as a xxxxxxx. She is a full sister to stakes winner Lunar Mist, an earner of $154,601 and descends in direct female line from three-time Canadian champion Eternal Search.
