The Curlin's Honor filly out of Be All You Can Be at Pleasant Acres Stallions
Pleasant Acres Stallions has announced the arrival of the first foal for Curlin's Honor , a chestnut filly out of Be All You Can Be born Jan. 3.
"We're delighted to greet the first foal by Curlin's Honor, and this is an especially interesting one, as it's the first foal of a War Front mare closely related to grade 1 winners Lines of Battle , War Flag , and Civil Union ," said Alan Porter of Pedigree Consultants. "Curlin's Honor had a great reception in his first year at Pleasant Acres Stallions. Given his background—he's the fastest son of Curlin , with five clockings of 1:08 and change for six furlongs, and from the fabulous Tartan Farm family of Fappiano, Quiet American, and nine other graded sires—we think he has a great shot of making it as a stallion. In fact, we are actively acquiring more mares to breed to him in 2022."
Curlin's Honor began his stallion career at Pleasant Acres in 2021 and stands for an advertised fee of $2,500 for 2022. A then record-breaking $1.5 million purchase at the 2017 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale, Curlin's Honor has multiple triple digit Beyer Speed Figures and is a multiple graded stakes-placed, multiple black-type winner.
The filly's dam, Be All You Can Be, is out of Homesteading (by Unbridled's Song). The unraced Be All You Can Be was a $275,000 Keenland September Yearling Sale purchase in 2018.
