PEDIGREE FOR CREATOR IS ONE TO TALK ABOUT A TAPIT COLT

 CREATOR ADDS A UNIQUE BLOODLINE TO THE DERBY

        Bred in Kentucky by Mount Brilliant Broodmares I, Creator was a $440,000 purchase at the Keeneland September sale. His most recent finish was a third in last month's Grade 2 Rebel Stakes, earning 10 points toward the Kentucky Derby. His new total of 110 points hoist the colt to sixth in the point standings. Creator's career record stands at 2-4-1 from seven starts, with earnings of $768,000.

       “Steve has had a lot of confidence in this horse from the start,” said Elliot Walden, CEO of WinStar Farm. Creator was the first horse Walden sent to Asmussen. “He's been a very high strung horse in the beginning. I liked what Steve had done with some of the Tapits he's had in the past. So that's why we sent Creator to him. Didn't want to send him to New York to where he'd run with the big guys. We felt like he was the kind of horse that if you pressed him too hard too early he might come apart on you.

      From a pedigree standpoint, Creator fears no distance. His dam, the Peruvian-bred Privately Held mare Morena, was a graded winner going 1 1/2 miles in Peru and finished third in the 2009 Personal Ensign Stakes (gr. I) going 1 1/4 miles.

       Creator is the only of her four offspring to race so far. She has a 2-year-old colt by LEMON DROP KID and a Street Cry yearling, and was bred to Tiznow for 2016. 

       Creator is the 2nd foal born to the Dam and according to Derby race results according to birth order Creator's odds of winning or placing My 7th increase.
