Curlin's Honor's First Winner Arises in R Morning Brew

Pleasant Acres Stallions' freshman sire Curlin's Honor   sired his first winner Aug. 9 when his daughter R Morning Brew  won her racing debut on a sloppy sealed track by 4 1/2 lengths at Gulfstream Park.

Dori Morgan Hyatt bred the first-out winner in Florida out of the Uncaptured  mare Foolhearted Woman, who has already produced multiple graded-placed stakes winner Dancing N Dixie  (Neolithic  ). The immediate family also has produced Angelofdistinction , who won the 2011 Inaugural Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs and was third in the 2012 Carry Back Stakes (G3).

Rivera Training and Sales sold R Morning Brew for $30,000 during the Ocala Breeders' Spring 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale to Averill Racing. The filly is now trained by Saffie Joseph Jr. and earned $29,000 for her win.

Curlin's Honor, a 9-year-old son of prominent sire Curlin  , is a multiple graded-placed stakes winner, who was competitive on dirt, all-weather, and turf surfaces. He won his racing debut on Keeneland's main track at 2 and then at 3 won the 2018 Woodstock Stakes on Woodbine's all-weather track. He later captured the 2019 Artie Schiller Stakes on the grass at Aqueduct Racetrack. He also was runner-up in the King Edward Stakes (G2T) and Ontario Derby (G3), and was third in four other graded stakes. He retired with a 5-3-4 record from 17 starts and earned $356,545.

Curlin's Honor stood this year for $2,500.
