Rampellini: Oaklawn horses to watch

RAPID DIAL
Trainer: Ingrid Mason
Last Race: March 11, 9th
Finish: 1st by 2 3/4 lengths
Beyer: 76
February foal made a statement in his debut when he defeated a large, talented and well-bred field of 3-year-old maidens by a clear margin. He covered six furlongs in a rapid 1:09.60, in the final race on the card.

ELATE
Trainer: Bill Mott
Last Race: March 11, 8th
Finish: 3rd by 4 3/4 lengths
Beyer: 80
She was squeezed back right after the start of the Grade 3, $200,000 Honeybee, a race in which she was the favorite, and found herself much farther off the pace than usual. She did well to close for third in the 1 1/16-miles race that went in a stakes-record time of 1:42.60.

AUNT GAYLE
Trainer: Joe McKellar
Last Race: March 12, 8th
Finish: 1st by 1 3/4 lengths
Beyer: 61
She showed promise last season at Oaklawn when stakes-placed, and recaptured that form upsetting an optional $10,000 claiming race for Arkansas-bred fillies and mares. The start was her second off a long layoff, and she defeated a number of rivals who had a win-experience edge on a filly who is now 2 for 6.
