We stopped by Churchill Downs to check in on Munny Problem, who quite frankly could not look any better than he does right now. Bas Nicholl, trainer D. Wayne Lukas’s assistant of over 22 years, expressed to us how the entire team really likes your colt, including Wayne himself as previously mentioned. Your son of Munnings will start to learn the starting gate in the coming weeks and is on course for a debut at some point this summer.

Munny Problem continues to progress in his training at Wavertree Stables and is expected to breeze in the coming days. We had the opportunity to check in on your colt this past week while in Ocala for the OBS March sale. He’s a big, strong colt that carries plenty of flesh, which is common for offspring of Munnings. With additional training, he should continue to shape up physically.

We will hopefully have video of his breeze this week and will follow up with that content later this week.

 

Newly named Munny Problem continues to train well at Wavertree Stables, where he is expected to have his first breeze sometime towards the end of January. His sire Munnings had two impressive juvenile stakes winners in December— Poster was victorious in the Grade 2 Remsen Stakes and Muhimma won the Grade 2 Demoiselle. Both of these two-year-olds by Munnings are undefeated and poised for exciting campaigns in 2025.

We are excited to announce the official winner of the Malibu Bonnie ’23 naming contest!

The winning name is Munny Problem!

Thank you to all who submitted names and voted during our naming contest!
