Pair of Stonestreet Yearlings, including $5-Million Curlin Colt, Set Off Fireworks at Keeneland

Hip 347 | Keeneland

A Curlin full-brother to MGISW Clairiere and an Into Mischief half-brother to GISW Girvin (Tale of Ekati)–both Stonestreet-breds–sold in a matter of minutes Tuesday afternoon at the Keeneland September sale for the two highest prices of the day thus far. Causing the biggest stir was hip 347, a Mar. 11-foaled chestnut colt by Curlin out of MGISW Cavorting (Bernardini), brought by Mandy Pope's Whisper Hill Farm for $5 million after a protracted bidding battle. Cavorting has three foals to race: MGISW Clairiere, SW La Crete (Medaglia d'Oro), and MGSP Judge Miller, a full-brother to Clairiere and the $5-million colt. The Stonestreet-bred session topper was consigned by Indian Creek, agent for Stonestreet Bred & Raised. He was the most expensive colt sold at Keeneland since 2006.

Just minutes earlier, hip 345 went through the ring, bringing $1.75 million from Monique Delk, agent for St. Elias Stables, who was also an underbidder on the $5-million colt. Consigned by Summerfield, agent for Stonestreet Bred & Raised, the Jan. 31-foaled Into Mischief colt is out of the unraced Catch the Moon (Malibu Moon), who has already produced four stakes winners. In addition to Girvin, the colt is also a half to GSW & MGISP Midnight Bourbon (TIznow), as well as to GSWs Cocked and Loaded (Colonel John) and Pirate's Punch (Shanghai Bobby).
