+GIRVIN (c, 2, Tale of Ekati–Catch the Moon, by Malibu Moon),sent off at 9-1 in this career bow, pressed from second alongside 2-1 shot Excitations (Into Mischief) as British Humor (Distorted Humor) ticked off early fractions of :21.87 and :45.72. Girvin and Excitations shook free of the pacesetter at the top of the lane and it was a match race from there. The duo battled stride-for-stride down the length of the stretch with Girvin edging just ahead of his rival late for a head success. The winner is a half-brother to Cocked and Loaded (Colonel John), GSW, $463,460. His unraced dam Catch the Moon produced a Shanghai Bobby colt Apr. 2 and was bred back to Curlin.
