FIFTEEN MOONS (Breeding)

FIFTEEN MOONS, by Country Life sire MALIBU MOON, is considered the foundation mare of the Country Life broodmare band. She displayed brilliance in her eearly workouts as a 2-year-old, but shse shipped a knee and never fulfilled her racing promise. As a broodmare, however, she is a stakes-producer and the dam of five runners to have earned more than $100,000. Her daughters Moon Vision, Lunar Rille, Fifteen Royals, and Ariel Moon have raced for Country Life and have been retained for our broodmare band. The mare’s 2024 colt by Jimmy Creed is named Jimmy Beefcake, and he is being broken this fall as a yearling at Merryland before entering the Country Life racing stable in 2026. He is a Maryland-bred, Virginia-certified colt. FIFTEEN MOONS produced a colt by Curlin’s son KNOWN AGENDA in 2025, and the mare will be retired from her Breeding Partnership after this year’s colt is weaned.

FIFTEEN MOONS is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Hookedonthefeelin’ (who sold at auction for $2.9 million and is the dam of Grade 1 winners Pussycat Doll and Jimmy Creed, plus stakes winner Funny Feeling) and to Citiview (dam of Midnight Lucky, winner of the Grade 1 Acorn Stakes and Humana Distaff), Fifteen Moons is out of the nice racemare Prospective Joy.

 

She has produced $240,000-plus earner Moon Vision and $305,000-plus Stakes Winner (and Graded Stakes-placed) Mayla from her first two foals to race. She also has $109,000-earner Lunar Rille, a winner on the turf; $108,000-earner Fifteen Royals (by Palace Malice) and $139,000-earner Moonsafe (by Mosler).  Her 2 yo filly by Mosler named Ariel Moon is in training for a 2023 debut and she has a yearling filly by Omaha Beach.
