Based on Looks, Who Wins the Darby?

I don't think he's going to win the Darby but geez, Creative Cause is absolutely gorgeous, no? He's by Giant's Causeway who ain't no gray, so where does he get his beautiful gray from?

CC is probably the favorite to win the derby right now. This horse is Getting faster with every start. Absolute beast.

Thank God for the Federal Reserve. You can't have big government or big wars without them.

I never go by looks or FUGG PASSER in a horse pedigree. I simply bet $177 dollars to win on the horse in post position 17 and then bet a $77 exacta box 7-17. I highly suggest not thinking about it and go with my system.

Creative Cause gets his grey color from his grey dam Dream of Summer, by Siberian Summer (who was also a grey.) Every grey horse has to have at least one grey parent. Grey coloring does not come from a recessive gene, like the chestnut coat color. It's not actually a color as much as a defect which causes premature greying of a horse born a darker color.

All grey Thoroughbreds trace back to a horse in the early 1800's named Master Robert, and most back to the Al c o c k Arabian in the early 1700's. If this Master Robert had been gelded or had died before being bred, we would have no Native Dancer, Spectacular Bid, Winning Colors, Hansen, or Creative Cause today --or Giacomo either!

P.S. Based on looks, bet a trifecta box of Hansen, Union Rags, and Creative Cause.

my horse again towers over this field based on looks he absolutely exudes class. when i saw him in the post parade for the rebel i thought no way can he get beat today. he did and he may get beat in the ark derby because its to short for him but they are all running for 2nd in the kentucky derby

Dream of Summer (dam of Creative Cause) and her 2012 Eskendereya filly, born March 28. Creative Cause's little half sister is going to be a grey like Mom and CC.
