One of the Airdrie ad campaigns for 2016 first-crop sire Creative Cause reads: “A Grade 1 Winning Millionaire- By a Grade 1 Winning Millionaire- Out of a Grade 1 Winning Millionaire.” If 3-year-old star Destin continues his upward trajectory, we’ll have to make room to add “Full Brother to a grade 1 Winning Millionaire.” That’s because Creative Cause’s full-brother Destin has established himself as a major player on the Triple Crown trail following back-to-back impressive scores in the Grade III Sam F. Davis Stakes and the Grade II Tampa Bay Derby. He appears poised to take on Grade 1 company in his next start and is helping to place the spotlight back on Creative Cause’s exceptional genetic bank. Both sons of the three-time leading General Sire Giant’s Causeway, their dam, Dream of Summer, is best known for defeating the great Ashado in the Grade 1 Apple Blossom Handicap. Combining a pedigree like this with a brilliant racetrack record and the palpable buzz coming from his first-crop 2-year-olds, it should be easy to see why we’re so bullish on Creative Cause’s future here at Airdrie.
