+RAPID DIAL (c, 3, Dialed In–Cartia, by Empire Maker) had been working steadily locally since mid-December and was sent off at 6-1 in this unveiling. The $75,000 OBSOPN 2-year-old flashed good early speed and kept a close eye on the leading pair perched well off the fence. He went up to challenge after a :22.36 opening quarter and soon steamed clear. In receipt of a 5 1/2-length lead in midstretch, Rapid Dial ended up 2 3/4 lengths in front of the rallying Lawton (Archarcharch) at the wire. Cartia, who is out of GII Humana Distaff H. heroine Zuppardo Ardo (Zuppardo's Prince) has visited Brethren every year since producing Rapid Dial, with a juvenile colt named Agassi and a yearling colt her latest produce. She was covered once again by Brethren last spring. Sales history: $7,500 Ylg '15 OBSOCT. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $43,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
