Creatine retired from breeding

Diamond Creek regretfully announces today that harness racing stallion Creatine (Andover Hall – Berry Nice Muscles) will be retired from breeding.

Creatine has struggled with issues that continue to affect his ability in the breeding shed.  With advice from industry professionals and our partners at Sugar Valley Farm, Diamond Creek has decided that it is best to retire Creatine for the welfare of the stallion.

Creatine retired with over $2 million in earnings and wins in the Breeders Crown, Kentucky Futurity, Allerage Trot and two Group 1 events in Europe. His best offspring was superstar Jujubee, the 2021 Dan Patch Trotter of the Year and 3-Year-Old Trotting Colt of the Year, who became the first sophomore trotting colt in history to record multiple sub 1:50 wins.

Other top performers from Creatine include stakes winners Take All Comers ($859K) and current 3-year-old Hung Over ($337K). In total, he has sired 27 horses to reach six figures in earnings

“He had a rough start as a yearling with an injury that no trainer would take, then to go on to make $2 million for the farm – he owes us nothing,” said Diamond Creek’s Adam Bowden. “He was our first real homebred and will always have a special place in our history and hearts.”

Creatine will live out his days at Diamond Creek Farm in his new role as a teaser stallion and retiree.
