SECOND GR.1 WINNER IN MAY FOR VIVIANA
TATES CREEK (f. by Rahy) bounded clear through
the stretch to earn her first Grade 1 success
while caputuring the Gamely Breeders’ Cup H. at Hollywood Park on
the 26th May. Tates Creek became the second Grade
1 winner for her dam Viviana, joining half-sister
SIGHTSEEK (f. by Distant View) who won the
Grade 1 Humana Distaff H. on Kentucky Derby

Tates Creek has now taken her earning to over one million
dollars. In her 14 starts she has had an impressive 10 wins
(6 graded stakes) and 2 seconds.
The family had further success on the 26th when ETOILE
MONTANTE (f. by Miswaki) out of Willstar (full-sister to
Viviana) took the Prix des Lilas L. at Compeigne. Etoile Montante
has previosuly been 3rd in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches Gr.1 at
