Paradise Creek entered the 1992 grade one Breeders' Cup Mile as the third longest shot in a field of 14 turf specialists at 31–1.
Then he traveled to the west coast and placed second again in the grade two Citation Handicap to Jeune Homme at Hollywood Park in November.
In the 1994 $2,000,000 grade one Breeders' Cup Turf, Paradise Creek entered the race as the prohibitive odds-on favorite.
Jockey Pat Day had him press the pace from the onset, sitting in a very close stalking position at fourth behind leader Dahlia's Dreamer.
Speeding by natural sprinters Raintap and Vaudeville, he continued to lead after a mile and quarter but tired late, holding on to third.
