Fasig-Tipton has added seven supplemental entries to its July Selected Horses of All Ages sale July 11.

These latest entries—cataloged as hips 611-617—include horses of racing age, breeding stock, and a lifetime breeding right to exciting young stallion Girvin  , offered as Hip 611.

Girvin is off to a quick start at stud with his first crop of 2-year-olds this year, siring five winners from eight runners to date.These include the undefeated Devious Dame , who captured the Astoria Stakes at Belmont Park June 9 in a 5 1/4-length romp.  

Girvin sired two more maiden special weight winners this past weekend, led by Damon's Mound , who overcame a slow start to win on debut by 12 1/2 lengths at Churchill Downs July 2.

A debut winner himself at 2, Girvin won the betfair.com Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1), Risen Star Stakes (G2), and Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby (G2) at 3 on his way to career earnings of more than $1.6 million for owner Brad Grady and trainer Joe Sharp. He is a half brother to graded stakes winners Midnight Bourbon , Cocked and Loaded , and Pirate's Punch . His immediate family further includes grade 1 winners Silver Max  and Yes It's True .
