James Cassidy, trainer: They're outstanding with what they do with pedigrees over there compared with what we do over here. For one, they breed for racing and not for the sales. However, if you want to buy a colt with real substance and size, or a filly with a really good pedigree, you're spending a lot of money. So, for value, you're better off with a middle-of-the-road pedigree with some ability than you are with some fabulous pedigree, a or something, even though with fillies you can always breed from them.

What sorts of European plunder can U.S. trainers most readily add a bit of spit and polish to? Yesterday in Part I, we spoke with trainers and bloodstock agents about their preferences in terms of horses with established form. An area of agreement circled the hunt for horses still eligible for allowance races in the U.S. An area of disagreement was the desired distances European runners have performed over. Today, we focus on the horses themselves--what purchasers look for in breeding, conformation and psyche. Pedigrees David Ingordo, bloodstock agent: "Some American buyers have this opinion of what a European yearling looks like, but a good European horse looks like a good American horse. They're strong. They're good-boned. Their feet might look a little different because of the turf, but a good-looking yearling over there stacks up over here.

The horses that that are a little screwey over there actually fit here. It's all very are hard to train, for me, you're fighting an uphill battle. well over there, this 20 to 25 minute walk to the gallops, then the walk back. But if a horse is jig-jogging the whole time across town at Newmarket, they're wound up by the time they get to the gallops. Then coming back, god help you! Here, they go out and come back in and that's quick. Sometimes I think that can suit them. I don't think there's one rule that says they're not going to fit over here.

Weisbord: This is huge. You're going to need a good training horse, especially when we send them to some of our larger CLASSIC PRODUCING V2 CATALOGUE trainers who have 150-200 horses in training. You really need them to be able to fit in line and adapt well. ONLINE

Tom Morley, trainer: Obviously you don't want to get to the Tattersalls Horses in Training sale and see the horse jig-jogging around the pre-parade ring with white sweat between his legs. I'm probably going to stay away from that horse, because the paddock at Saratoga is a cauldron. Yes, it's important, but I read a story the other day about how a $6 pair of ear plugs won us an American Triple Crown. We have plenty of tricks with hoods and ear-plugs, etcetera, just to make it easier on these horses.

Bradley: I like a horse with a good mind. I've had problems with those that I thought would settle into the schedule over here and didn't.

IN TDN EUROPE TODAY EUROPEAN IMPORTS: FINDING THE RIGHT Creative Cause | EquiSport photos HORSE In the second installment of a two-part series, we ask American-based trainers and agents what specific by Chris McGrath qualities they look for in a European import. It was a daunting group of young sires to be measured against. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. Last year, two of them won Triple Crown races at the first attempt, through Always Dreaming (Bodemeister) and Cloud Computing (Maclean's Music). From his second crop, another has since come up with a GI winner in Monomoy Girl (Tapizar), while Paradise Woods and company have already hoisted Union Rags (Dixie Union) up from $35,000 to $60,000. And that's without even mentioning the intake's champion freshman, Dialed In (Mineshaft), who has rightly quadrupled his own, very modest starting fee. Halfway through their third season, however, all these fast starters find themselves panting in the wake of a stallion who is leading the way by prize money, black-type winners and graded stakes winners. Against those operating from meaningful book sizes, moreover, he is also first by winners-to-starters. His name is Creative Cause (Giant's Causeway) and he has now sealed his emergence with a first Grade I winner in Pavel--whose breakout success in the Stephen Foster H. earlier this month provides an encouraging template, in terms of building on initial foundations, for his sire's stock overall.

Creative Cause cont. from p1 Not that Creative Cause has exactly been a slow burn. Seven black-type winners last year put the Airdrie stallion alongside Dialed In, Maclean's Music and Union Rags atop the second-season sires, while as a rookie in 2016 he had managed a strike-rate of one-in-three with his first juveniles. (Starting with his very first runner, at Los Alamitos in April over just 4 1/2 furlongs). Creative Cause was himself a Grade I winner at two who disappeared after making his 10th start in the GI Preakness S. But if his progeny can match his own precocity and dash with a propensity to keep thriving, then he seems bound to keep elbowing his way forward in the contest to become the premier Kentucky heir to Giant's Causeway, who died in April. "We knew, coming in, that it was going to be very difficult in such an exceptional crop of first-year sires," recalled Airdrie's Bret Jones. "But what we're seeing right now with Creative Cause is what we've been lucky enough to see in the past with our other big stallions. And that's to find, every Saturday, that you've another couple of Creative Causes running in stakes. It's been snowballing that way for the last year or so now. "What's very encouraging is that his horses stay at a high level. Pavel seems like he's been around a long time already, running against the best around. But not only do they stay together, and have that soundness-they also seem to get better. Pavel is now a "On the Pimlico backside the atmosphere is more laidback Grade I winner. And that's very much the way Giant's Causeway [than ]," said Jones. "Yes, there are still cameras and all earned his reputation." the rest of it, but there's a bit more time. And I'll never forget These are exciting times at a farm where owners Brereton and seeing him come out of the barn one morning and just stand Elizabeth Jones have assembled a highly regarded young team there like a statue. He had so much class; that special kind of to supervise a corresponding roster of sires, not least sales look. And that was the moment we decided we wanted to phenomenon Cairo Prince (Pioneerof The Nile). pursue him full-bore. Creative Cause was enlisted in 2012 after his smouldering "We really put some pressure on ourselves, because we felt presence on the Triple Crown had been finally doused with we were bringing home the best stud prospect we have ever third place in the Preakness. had here. We've always been a bit of a niche operation: stallions A $135,000 Keeneland September yearling pinhook, the in the $10,000, $15,000, $20,000 range.

He had that pedigree, he had that brilliance, and he That year he won a Hollywood Park maiden by daylight, the had that conformation. All we had to do was not screw it up!" Airdrie duly committed to supporting Creative Cause with the GII Best Pal S. (beating I'll Have Another {Flower Alley}) and the best mares on the farm. Jones is full of praise for the Steinmann GI Norfolk S., before going down by barely a length when third family, with whom the farm is enjoying "as good a partnership in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile. At three, he beat Bodemeister as you could ask for." With everyone putting a shoulder to the (Empire Maker) in the GII San Felipe S., before finishing off with wheel, Creative Cause opened with books of 118, 122 and 103; three consecutive defeats by old rival I'll Have Another: by a and then covered 125 mares in 2016 after his first yearlings, nose in the GI Santa Anita Derby; by three lengths when fifth in conceived at $15,000, raised an average of $67,405. the , his only career start off the board; and by While he dipped to 96 mares last year, his direction of travel nine lengths in the Preakness. now can be judged from a fee hike to $20,000 this spring.

Creative Cause cont. "His sales have always been solid," Jones reflects. "But there were a few we felt didn't bring quite what they should. We'd always been told that a little bit of a shorter walk was a Giant's Causeway trait, but no matter how nice and balanced the body and movement, we couldn't convince everybody of that. Pavel, for instance, didn't have that sexy overstep a lot of buyers like to see. So it's been very fulfilling that a lot of the horses we thought a little undervalued have now gone out there and got it done in the afternoon." However much Giant's Causeway can be seen in Creative Cause, let's not leave the bottom half of his family tree out of the equation. Because it provides a fascinating foil and, in its less familiar reaches, may be contributing rather more than supposed.

Creative Cause | EquiSport photos

On the face of it, Creative Cause testifies to the capacity of a mare who apparently outran her own genes to replicate her track ability with the help of an elite sire like Giant's Causeway. For his dam Dream Of Summer (Siberian Summer), though herself a Grade I winner and millionaire, belongs to a family of small distinction. So much so, in fact, that her breeder Jim Weigel had been able to buy Dream Of Summer's unraced dam Mary's Dream (Skywalker) for just $7,000. And that, in turn, is exactly where the bidding stalled when, offering her as a yearling, he set a $10,000 reserve on the filly Mary's Dream had delivered to Siberian Summer in 1999. TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 11 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • JUNE 28, 2018

Creative Cause cont. Weigel kept her to race himself, naming her Dream Of Summer, but still had to be patient as various setbacks kept her off the track until she was four. But she then missed the board in only three of 20 starts, winning the GI Apple Blossom S. among five other stakes. Dream Of Summer represented seven generations of hard-running Cal-breds, featuring only a smattering of regional stakes winners. But it would be wrong to be at all supercilious about that lineage. Her dam Mary's Dream was out of a useful filly who forged together two different forms of West Coast ore: the hallmark Old English Rancho speed of her mother (who also produced a Grade II winner on turf), and the ruggedness of a GI San Juan Capistrano H. winner in Properantes, the best son of Protanto. Protanto! I do like turning up a horse like this in a pedigree. The 1971 Whitney winner was out of a half-sister to none other than Bold Ruler. As a son of , Protanto was inbred 3x3 to one of the great broodmare sires in Discovery, responsible for the dams of both Bold Ruler and Native Dancer. Protanto died young, and Properantes was just about all he mustered from a stud career alongside a horse named Northern Dancer at Windfields in Maryland. Properantes, for his part, was given a chance at Old English, but turf stayers can go hungry at stud out in California.
