Georgia Antley Hunt, Jeff Giglio and John L. Rogitz’s Nothing Like You (Malibu Moon – Miss Derek) was much the best in the $300,000, Gr. II Santa Anita Oaks, scoring by 7 1//2 lengths over fellow OBS graduate Kinza (Carpe Diem – Secret Wonder).

    Away slowly, the 3-year-old daughter of Malibu Moon rated on the inside, slipped through on the rail to take the lead turning for home and drew off with authority. Trained by Bob Baffert, she has three stakes wins, an 8-4-1-0 record and $423,160 inearnings. At the 2023 OBS Spring Sale, she turned in an Under Tack eighth in :10 flat and was purchased out of the Wildheart Thoroughbreds consignment for $190,000. 

    Sonata Stable’s Arzak rated behind the leaders in Keeneland’s $350,000, Gr. II Shakertown Stakes, went after the lead after turning for home, took charge a furlong out and was best by a length at the wire. It’s the third graded stakes win for the 6-year-old son of Not This Time, purchased for $575,000 out of the Julie Davies consignment at the 2020 OBS Spring Sale after breezing an Under Tack eighth in :10 flat. Trained by Mike Trombetta, he has compiled a 25-8-3-1 career record and has earned $824,019.
