Steady Growth

Steady Growth (April 4, 1976 – September 20, 1995)[1] was a Canadian Thoroughbred Champion racehorse.

Bred and raced by Bud Willmot's Kinghaven Farms, Steady Growth was out of the mare Crelita, a daughter of Crepello, winner of the 1957 Epsom Derby and 2,000 Guineas Stakes and the Leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland in 1969 and the Leading broodmare sire in Great Britain & Ireland in 1974.

Steady Growth was conditioned for racing from a base at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, by American trainer John Tammaro, Jr. At age three, the colt won the 1979 Plate Trial Stakes and then Canada's most prestigious race, the Queen's Plate.

He was retired to his owner's stud farm, where he sired thirteen stakes race winners.

The best of his progeny was millionaire and 1989 Canadian Champion Older Horse Steady Power, a versatile runner at short and long distances whose wins included the Canadian and Manitoba Derbys, and the mile and three quarter Valedictory Handicap.
