B DAWK (c, 3, Gormley – Mott N Hester, by Super Saver) closed in preparation for its third five-seat debut on the Del Mar turf on November 14 and improved a turning point to dirt at Santa Anita on New Year’s Eve. Bombing at 1-2 when Friday switched to Tapeta at Golden Gate, he ran a third away from the impressive High Connections (Connect) returned to the Arcadia main track on March 26 and was dispatched at 44-5 for transit at this point. Rushing to get an early spot, the $425,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic purchase sped it up from a close-quarter-half to a quarter at: 22.88. Taking the lead with a 3 deep lead in the first leg, the chestnut blew up the race from the start, belatedly diverted just inside the eighth pole and finished 11 1/4 triumphant. length. Favorite First Accurate Estimate (Into Mischief) completed correctly. The victor’s dam creates a piece of trash by Classic Empire last season before visiting Law Tiz.
