Rapido - pictured as a yearling
Capitalist colt Rapido had been knocking on the door for a win, and converted in no uncertain terms this weekend at Newcastle. Settled in behind under jockey Andrew Adkins, he exploded in the straight to power away from his rivals for a most impressive success.
Rapido was purchased from the Twin Hill Stud draft at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sales, and is out of the smart American mare Madam Cactus.
Thanks to trainers Peter and Paul Snowden, and congratulations to owners Belinda Bateman, Fergus Doyle, Rob Love, Gary Diamond, Phil & Glenda Mehrten, John & Frances Ingham, Jean-Dominique and Rianna Huynh and Danny Saab.
