Three starts in North Queensland have delivered two wins and a second, his second win coming today in a 1200 metre three year-old handicap, so his new owners are no doubt delighted with Malos..
Malos is the first foal of placed Street Cry (IRE) mare Erato, a sibling to Group I winner Impending (by Lonhro), Group III winner Forget and stakes-winner Epidemic, not to mention Group II placed Memorial, who is her full sister.
Malos as a young horse was obviously not impressing anyone at Godolphin as Erato was sold at the 2017 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale for $120,000 to Australian Bloodstock when in foal to Helmet.

Erato sets the sale ring alight
Offered in foal to Russian Revolution, Erato made $1,750,000 when bought by Yu Long Investments proving an outstanding short term investment for Australian Bloodstock.
I guess the moral to the story is that full siblings can be very different and just because a mating you really like does not produce a superstar the first time around, does not mean it can't hit the mark in subsequent tries.
