Campfire Creed takes Kip Deville S. in black type debut

Jimmy Creed got his fifth stakes winner of the year on Sunday at Remington Park when Campfire Creed scored in the $75,000 Kip Deville S. (WATCH RACE).

The 2-year-old colt was making his stakes debut following a sharp maiden special weight win over the same track on Aug. 20, when he won by 5 ¼-lengths.

In the six-furlong Kip Deville, Campfire Creed was fifth through the first half of the race. He began to make progress towards the front while three-wide on the turn, then gobbled up the ground in the stretch to roll by pacesetter Wildatlanticstorm in the final furlong, winning by 1 ¾-lengths.

Bred by Highclere, Inc., the winner is out of the More Than Ready mare Mahbadiha. The chestnut is owned by Dennis Foster and has earned $75,178 in three lifetime starts.

In addition to Campfire Creed, Jimmy Creed’s Conagher was a gallant second to Gunite in the $275,000 Harrods Creek S. Saturday at Churchill Downs. Jimmy Creed currently ranks third among all Sixth-Crop sires with just under $5 million in progeny earnings to date this year.
