Creative Cause’s trainer, Mike Harrington - age 71, and owner, Heinz
Steinmann - age 80, seek to turn back the clock this Cinco de Mayo, as did Sea
Hero’s Derby winning connections back in 1993 (see below). Harrington is a
fourth generation horseman, having spent over 50 years near a racetrack as
either a trainer or veterinarian for both quarter and thoroughbred horse breeds. Herren Steinmann has been his major owner/supporter now for
two decades, sending him a few young horses each year. The pair previously enjoyed Grade I success
with California star Swiss Yodeler in the 1990’s, producing enough earnings to
keep him involved in the game at a high level. Creative Cause was originally a
$135,000 Keenland yearling purchase, followed by a private sale to “Heinz-Stein”
(nickname opportunities abound!).
