"...Literally and figuratively a filly by Moonlight"
That is what the auctioneer told the potential buyers when Moonlight was led into the Keeneland ring with her little chestnut filly by her side on 8 January. The filly, by Belong To Me, was born on Sunday night, 6 January on the Keeneland sales grounds. And already she has had to deal with noise, people and going through the hustle and bustle of a big horse auction.

Moonlight herself was part of my 2001 stable - she was a decent runner at allowance level, winning once and placing/showing 5 times out of 13 races. She should make a decent broodmare. This filly is her second foal . She has a 2007 colt by Forest Camp as well.
Bred and campaigned by Overbrook Farm, she is by Breeders' Cup Classic winner Unbridled out of G3 winner Cat Appeal. She was sold on 8 January at Keeneland for $90,000, Gayle Van Leer (agent) signed for her. Hopefully Moonlight and her girl are bonding somewhere somewhat quieter!
