Creative Cause is a Giant's Causeway out of a millionaire Grade 1 winning router racemare.

Creative Cause is trained by a 71-year-old low ROI guy -- he claims his two best horses prior to CC are Swiss Yodeler and Buck Trout. Swiss Yodeler was 0-for-15 with only a single 2nd place finish after the age of two. Buck Trout won two races his entire career.

Speed: check
Precocity: check
Pedigree: check
Weak trainer: check

This horse has more durability and a better 2yo form as well.

Most of the good Giant's Causeways are slugs early on.

Doug O' Neill got Thor's Echo from Harrington after a maiden race -- and he ended up eventually winning the Breeders Cup Sprint by 4 lengths and being voted champion sprinter. Thor's Echo was sired by the mighty Swiss Yodeler.
Wasn't his debut at DMR though? Also, the dam you like to keep mentioning is a calbred with pretty unfashionable breeding.
