Background

edit

Casa Creed is a bay horse who in Kentucky by Silver Springs Stud, a daughter of 2012 Malibu Stakes winner Jimmy Creed out of the Bellamy Road unraced mare Achalaya. Casa Creed is the first of her six foals. Achalaya also has a two-year-old Distorted Humor colt, a yearling Omaha Beach colt, and a 2022 Authentic filly.[3] In 2022 his sire Jimmy Creed stands at Spendthrift Farm for US$10,000.[3]

Casa Creed was first bought at the Ocala Breeder's Sales Company 2017 Winter mixed Sale for US$15,000 from the Janie Roper consignment by Amalio Ruiz-Lozano.[4] Later that year Casa Creed was bought for US$105,000 from the Kelli Mitchell consignment at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale by LRE Racing.[3]

After two starts in 2018 LRE Racing sold a share to Mike Francesa, New York sports talk radio presenter's JEH Racing Stable.

Casa Creed was trained by U.S. Racing Hall of Fame trainer William I. Mott.[3] He was retired from racing after a fourth-place finish in the Poker Stakes at Saratoga as an eight-year-old.[5] He will stand the 2025 stud season at Mill Ridge Farm in Lexington, Kentucky.[6]
