CARRICK (c, 3, Giant’s Causeway–How Far to Heaven, by Distorted Humor) was almost exactly three months removed from being entered in a $40,000 maiden claimer at Belmont Park in his career debut May 12, but none of that mattered Saturday when he rallied to spring a major upset in the GI Secretariat S. at Arlington. Securing a perfect spot tracking the pacesetters behind a swift half-mile in :47.27, he angled off the rail and gained interest on the far turn. The colt turned for home in the four path, confronted favored Analyze It (Point of Entry) in midstretch and gradually forged past that rival to claim the victory. Winner of his aforementioned debut, Carrick added another comfortable score in a June 21 starter allowance test before closing belatedly to finish third behind Golden Brown (Offlee Wild) in the GIII Kent S. at Delaware July 14. The winner’s second dam is a half-sister to MGSW Saudi Poetry (Storm Cat). Carrick hails from the deep family of champions Arts and Letters and Silverbulletday. Sales History: $75,000 yrl KEESEP ’16. Lifetime Record: 4-3-0-1, $319,600.
