He was named that because he was from Malibu Moon's first crop of KY-breds. Daniel Boone = KY, etc. Thanks!

He ran a great second, running NINE furlongs in his first start, and gaining on the winner, a Michael Matz trainee at 9/5, at the end. He should run even better on dirt, I think, as his dam has no turf winners. A little fussing going into the gate, but he broke well, assumed a stalking position, ran on at the end, and galloped out well.

Daniel Moon wins a turf MSW in his fourth start!
Daniel Moon put it all together today, winning the third race at Delaware Park. He's run a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in his previous starts, but was beaten less than 2 lengths for 4th last time, so he's been knocking on the door. Today he was very professional: loaded well, stood in the gate during a long load, jumped out early to clear the bend in the turf course from the 1 hole, then settled and rated nicely, powering to the lead and going on. The 40-year-old virgin no more!
In the race were two Giant's Causeway colts, a Smart Strike, a Medaglia D'Oro, a FuPeg, a Friends Lake, an Empire Maker, a Rahy, a Lemon Drop Kid, a Runaway Groom, and another Malibu Moon. I believe Malibu Moon's stud fee at the time that DM was conceived was less than $7500.
