Malibu's prayers are answered in Chilukki Edward P. Evans' homebred MALIBU PRAYER (Malibu Moon) was the bridesmaid in the Mother Goose S. (G1), Delaware Oaks (G2) and Monmouth Oaks (G3) this season, but finally earned her first significant victory Saturday with a one-length triumph in the $167,550 Chilukki S. (G2) at Churchill Downs. Tracking a quick pace set by the favorite One Caroline (Unbridled's Song), the sophomore took over from that rival turning for home and held sway through the lane to finish one mile over the fast track in 1:36 1/5. Sent off the 5-1 fourth choice in the nine-horse field, Malibu Prayer paid $12.20, $6.20 and $3.80 while on top of the $179 exacta, $683.40 trifecta and $3,437.20 superfecta (3-1-4-9). The Todd Pletcher pupil entered the Chilukki following a 6 3/4-length romp in the Cat Chat, an overnight stakes at Belmont Park. She has now earned $348,526 from a line of 9-4-3-2.
