A $500,000 Keeneland September yearling out of the 2020 Stonestreet Thoroughbreds consignment, CAWKAB (Curlin) was purchased by Shadwell Stables and makes a belated debut out of the Brad Cox barn. A 3-year-old son of Catch the Moon (Malibu Moon), Cawkab is a half-brother to four graded-stakes winners including the late GSW & MGISP Midnight Bourbon (Tiznow), GISW & up-and-coming freshman sire Girvin (Tale of Ekati), GSW Cocked and Loaded (Colonel John), and GSW Pirate's Punch (Shanghai Bobby). His 2-year-old half-brother, Weyhill Road (Quality Road), was himself a $1.6m Keeneland September yearling, nearly topping the sale, and recently debuted fourth in maiden special weight company at Keeneland.

Fasig-Tipton has added seven supplemental entries to Monday's July Selected Horses of All Ages sale including a lifetime breeding right to young stallion Girvin (Tale of Ekati-Catch the Moon, by Malibu Moon) as HIP 611. The freshman sire is off to a quick start at stud with his first crop of two-year-olds in 2022, siring five winners from eight runners to date. These include the undefeated Devious Dame, who captured the Astoria S. at Belmont on June 9 in a 5 1/4-length romp. Girvin sired two more maiden special weight winners this past weekend include Damon's Mound, who was named a 'TDN Rising Star' following his 12 1/2-length debut win at Churchill Downs July 2. A debut winner himself as a 2-year-old, Girvin won the GI Haskell, GII Risen Star S., and the GII Louisiana Derby at three on his way to career earnings of more than $1.6 million. He is a half-brother to graded stakes winners Midnight Bourbon (Tiznow), Cocked and Loaded (Colonel John), and Pirate's Punch (Shanghai Bobby). His immediate family includes Grade I winners Silver Max (Badge of Silver) and Yes It's True (Is It True).

“The lifetime breeding right to Girvin is an exciting, unique addition to this year's sale,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “It offers breeders an opportunity to get in on the ground floor with a stallion with unlimited potential.”
