CERNAN (Malibu Moon) gets his career started for Grandview Equine and Everett Dobson's Cheyenne Stables LLC and trainer Steve Asmussen, who strikes with about one of every five of his first-starters. Produced by an unraced half-sister to standout Japanese turf stayer and two-time Horse of the Year Symboli Kris S (Kris S.), the Apr. 16 was hammered down to these connections for $500K at last year's Keeneland September sale, making him the joint most-expensive of 51 of this outstanding sire's yearlings to sell in 2018.
