Charlatan returned to the races yesterday like he had never left, winning the G1 Malibu by 4 1/2 lengths for owners SF Racing, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables, Stonestreet Stables, Fred Hertrich, III, John D. Fielding and Golconda Stables.

Charlatan earned a career best 107 Beyer Speed Figure for his effort.

On the east coast, private purchase Whereshetoldmetogo notched his second consecutive stakes score for owners Madaket Stables, Ten Strike Racing, Michael Kisber and Black Cloud Racing when taking the Dave’s Friend at Laurel.

The five year old gelding is really coming into his own at this point in his career, pairing 99 Beyer Speed Figures while crossing the wire in front in his third straight stakes race.
