Malibu Moon Filly Always in Command at Big A; Earns Rising Stardom

Cheyenne Stables LLC’s Harper’s in Charge (Malibu Moon) ran to advanced billing to post an extremely easy debut victory worthy of the ‘TDN Rising Star’ distinction. Pounded all the way down to 7-5 off an 8-1 morning line, the $220,000 KEESEP yearling zipped out of the gate and was immediately a length in front. She cruised along through splits of 22.83 and :46.84, and continued into the lane in complete command as Manny Franco peeked back for competition. Nobody could run with the leader, and she hit another gear for good measure in midstretch while running up the score to 6 1/2 lengths. Chad Brown/Klaravich firster Commandandcontrol (Quality Road) was second best.

The winner’s unraced dam Azara (More Than Ready) is a half-sister to superstar Tepin (Bernstein) and MGSW Vyjack (Into Mischief). She sold for $875,000 in foal to Into Mischief at KEENOV ’16. The resulting foal, I’ll Fight Dempsey, was a $300,000 yearling and debut winner at Gulfstream in February. Azara produced a Flatter colt earlier this term before being bred back to Into Mischief.

Clement Maintains Hot Hand, Winning Sixth Stakes Of Meet With Cariba

Cheyenne Stables' Cariba, conditioned by Saratoga's leading trainer Christophe Clement, kicked in late to secure a half-length score in the $200,000 Caress, a 5 ½-furlong Mellon turf sprint to close out Saturday's 12-race Whitney Day card at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

With Irad Ortiz, Jr. up, Cariba settled in fourth position as Luis Saez urged Jakarta to the lead through splits of 22.10 and 44.63 on the firm turf under pressure from Introduced with Dalika, the 9-5 mutuel favorite under Joel Rosario, racing in ninth.

Jakarta maintained a precarious lead through the turn with Getmotherarose threatening an inside run and Sweet Bye and Bye ranging up on the outside. Getmotherarose was stopped in traffic but Cariba, under urging from Ortiz, Jr., found another gear late in the lane and surged to victory in a final time of 1:01.53.

Jakarta held second by a head over Sweet Bye and Bye. Rounding out the order of finish was Introduced, Dalika, I'llhandalthecash, Miss Gossip, Mother Mother, Getmotherarose, and Saratoga Treasure.

Ortiz, Jr. said he followed the leading trainer's instructions to the letter.

“I got a perfect trip. I just followed the instructions. [Clement] told me to be third or fourth and don't be too far,” said Ortiz, Jr. “The horse put me right there and when I tipped her out in the stretch, she had something left and finished up very well. She ran really good.”

Clement now boasts 14 wins at the meet including six stakes wins led by graded scores with Decorated Invader in the Grade 2 Hall of Fame and Speaktomeofsummer in the Grade 2 Lake Placid.

The French-born trainer said he asked Ortiz, Jr. to provide Cariba, making her stakes debut, with a close stalking trip.

“I thought there was two or three speeds and I didn't think we could be in the first two,” said Clement. “I said to be aggressive and get a position third or fourth because we had a bad draw and you don't want to be caught in the back in traffic and everything. He gave her a perfect trip. It's always nice when it works out.”

Bred in Kentucky by Brereton C. Jones, Cariba banked $110,000 in victory while improving her record to three wins and three seconds from eight starts. She paid $10.40 for a $2 win bet.

Live racing returns on Sunday with a 10-race card which features the $100,000 Birdstone for 4-year-olds and upward going 1 ¾ miles over the main track. First post is 1:10 p.m. Eastern.
