Creative Cause’s electrifying 3-year-old filly Nikki My Darling won her second straight stakes on Saturday with an eight-length score in the $75,000 Pay the Man S. at Thistledown, less than a month after a similar romp in the Queen City Oaks at Belterra Park.
Owned by Loooch Racing Stable and Imaginary Stables, Nikki My Darling now has three stakes wins and has earned $226,533 in her six wins from 11 starts.
As she did in the Queen City, Nikki My Darling dictated the pace the entire trip on Saturday, opening up at will at the top of the stretch to win in hand in 1:43.82 for the 1 1/16-miles.
The winner is one of Creative Cause’s four stakes winners this year, with three of the quartet winning at least two added-money events in 2017. Creative Cause is a top-10 Second-Crop Sire by progeny earnings, winners, and stakes winners.
