Girvin at Ocala Stud
Ocala Stud has set 2021 stud fees for its roster of 16 stallions for the upcoming breeding season, led by Girvin whose fee will be $6,000 for his third year at stud. New stallions on the roster for next year are grade 1 winners Win Win Win and Seeking the Soul , who will both stand for $5,000, and Dak Attack , a stakes-winning son of Ghostzapper , whose fee will be $2,500.
Girvin, a leading 3-year-old of his crop, captured the 2017 betfair.com Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1) and registered back-to-back graded stakes in taking the Risen Star Stakes (G2) and the Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby (G2). An earner of $1,624,392 on the racetrack and a winner from six to nine furlongs, Girvin saw his first foals arrive in 2020. He covered 273 mares in his first two books, getting the largest book among Florida stallions in 2019 at 149 mares and breeding 124 mares in 2020.
Win Win Win won this year's Forego Stakes Presented by America's Best Racing (G1) at Saratoga Race Course in impressive fashion, defeating four grade 1 winners, including Complexity , in a final time of 1:21.71 for seven furlongs. Last season at 3, Win Win Win set a new track and stakes record winning the Pasco Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs, rolling to a 7 1/4-length victory in 1:20.89, running a 2 on the Ragozin Sheets. He hails from a deep Live Oak family and is a descendant of the influential Halo sire line. He will stand as a partnership between Live Oak Stud, Airdrie Stud, and Ocala Stud.
Seeking the Soul , a Charles Fipke homebred, enjoyed an illustrious racing career, winning the 2017 Clark Handicap Presented by Norton Healthcare (G1), the 2018 Ack Ack Stakes (G3), and the 2019 Stephen Foster Stakes (G2) at Churchill Downs. All told, he won or placed in nine graded stakes, which included runner-up finishes in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1) and the Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes (G1). On the board in 20 of 32 starts, Seeking the Soul bankrolled more than $3.4 million.
Like Girvin, Awesome Slew welcomed first foals in 2020. The versatile son of Awesome Again won graded stakes from seven furlongs to 1 1/16 miles during his racing career and earned $1,223,310 while winning or placing in 12 graded stakes. He will stand for $4,000.
Adios Charlie , a consistently high-ranking sire in Florida, will stand for $4,000. The Sunshine State's leading sire in 2019, Adios Charlie is a top-five sire again in 2020. Also standing for $4,000 are Jess's Dream , who has first-crop 2-year-olds in 2020; grade 1 winner Noble Bird , who will be represented by first 2-year-olds in the coming year; and The Big Beast , Florida's second-ranked freshman sire of 2019, who is represented this year by stakes winner Hear My Prayer, as well as stakes winner and grade 1-placed stakes winner Up in Smoke.
