Looking for an upper level eventing prospect – well here she is! You can’t beat her Giant’s Causeway/Sadler’s Wells lines for outstanding sport horse potential. Add to that – she’s big, sound, grey, and showed off some breathtaking light movement once her trainer let her trot out a bit. In 8 starts without a win, this long-legged girl has shown that racing is not her game, but that could be the sport horse world’s gain. Her trainer says she is sound, good to work with, trains eagerly, and loves peppermints. On the day we photographed her, she was wrapped behind because she got a cut in her last race, and he was keeping it clean while it healed – he said it was healing well. It was a windy cool day when we took her photos, but she was respectful of her handler for her jog video. When we asked him to let her trot out, she showed a light flowing trot with good reach from the shoulders. Our videographer stopped filming after one trot pass, but the trainer didn’t hear us in the wind saying he could stop, so he kept trotting her back and forth a few more times. And her trot just got more and more amazing. Trust us, when this filly is let down from the track and relaxed, her movement is going to earn some big scores. Her sire is Destin, who is a full brother to Creative Cause, both sired by Giant’s Causeway. Creative Cause is a popular sport horse sire. And Destin already has some offspring who are making a successful transition to eventing. Saratoga Smokeshow’s dam is by Sadler’s Wells, and sold for $850,000 as a yearling, is a stakes producer and a half sister to a European champion. This classy pedigree bodes well for success in her new career. Saratoga Smokeshow is fully eligible for the 2024 and 2025 RRP.
