Creole Maid (foaled 1935 in Kentucky) was an American Thoroughbred racemare owned by Sarah F. Jeffords and trained by National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame inductee, Preston Burch.[1]

A granddaughter of Man o' War, Creole Maid won important races such as the 1937 Schuylerville Stakes,[2] the 1937 Adirondack Handicap,[3] and as a three-year-old in 1938, the very important Coaching Club American Oaks.[4]

After retiring from racing, Creole Maid served as a broodmare for her owner and notably produced the fast colt, Natchez.
