Creative Cause filly rallies for first stakes win

Nikki My Darling found her best stride in deep stretch to win the $75,000 Southern Park S. by two lengths over Conundrum Red on March 25 at Mahoning Valley Racetrack.

The 3-year-old filly is the third stakes winner and fifth stakes horse overall for Creative Cause, who is in the top ten on this year’s Second-Crop Sire list.

Nikki My Darling was never worse than fourth in the six-furlong affair, and pressed Conundrum Red for about a half-mile before assuming command late to secure the win.

The Jeff Radosevich trainee is owned by Loooch Racing Stables and Imaginary Stables and is now 3-0-0 in six starts and has earned $83,713.
