DABSTER (c, 3, Curlin">Curlin–On a Roll, by A.P. Indy) , disqualified to fourth for drifting out after grimly holding on in his debut Dec. 26, fought gamely again in this second outing and was spared the stewards' wrath this time to earn his diploma. Off as the 13-10 favorite, the $1-million Fasig-Tipton March purchase set a contested pace through a :23.20 quarter and :47.29 half. Fighting off a myriad off challengers on the far turn, the chestnut bore out some at the top of the lane, but straightened soon after to and held off longshot Camino de Estrella (Mineshaft) by a half-length, with barnmate Reach the World (Tapit) another half-length back in third. Dabster is out of a half to MSW/MGSP Ender's Sister (A.P. Indy), the dam of MGISW A. P. Indian. She produced his full sister, Let's Roll, in 2015 and dropped a colt by Street Sense last spring before visiting The Factor.$430,000 Ylg '15 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $35,640.
