A member of the Stonestreet operation since 2005, Moynihan was a key cog in the farm's acquisition of Dreaming of Julia's dam, Dream Rush; and the Broodmare of the Year's most successful partner in the breeding shed, two-time Horse of the Year Curlin. He was also a guiding voice in planning the matings that produced Dreaming of Julia's two graded stakes winners: champion Malathaat and Julia Shining.

Malathaat (Curlin) wins the Ashland Stakes (G1) at Keeneland on 4.3.21. Joel Rosario up, Todd Pletcher trainer, Shadwell Stable owner.
Superstar stallions have the highest stud fees, not for their good looks, but for the number of their racers who show up on the weekend cards for the premier races. Once again, Curlin, Into Mischief, and Tapit scored heavily over the Easter weekend of racing, with the highly regarded Bernardini and Candy Ride picking up major stakes on opposite coasts, as well.
At Keeneland on Saturday, the Grade 1 Ashland Stakes went to Malathaat (by Curlin). Bred in Kentucky by Stonestreet and sold to Shadwell for $1.05 million at the 2019 Keeneland September yearling sale, Malathaat remained unbeaten with this victory in her fourth start, and she became the third generation of Grade 1 winners for her female line.
