Swingtime Stakes
1 mile Turf Stake Purse $80.000 Fillies and Mares Three-Year-Old And Upward. At SA

1st      Pelayo             Bears Stable               2.15-1 (HRP) 10-1 (SRF)

Pelayo made it 9 of 11 with a wire-to-wire victory in her first foray into stakes territory, and as predicted the odds makers made her co-favorite, and they were right. Fresu hustled her out of the outside gate with the help of the AI push and never looked back, keeping the pressure on right to the wire for a fairly handy win. It’s looking like the sky’s the limit for this lass.

2nd     Class Command                      Asgar           2.55-1 (HRP) *9-5 (SRF)

Class Command broke alertly and may have actually had her nose in front briefly before the winner got her push but then found herself in the role of bridesmaid as all she could do was chase the streaking Pelayo to the wire.

3rd      Outrageous Nevada         Paradise Stable           *1.80 (HRP) 2-1 (SRF)

Outrageous Nevada was caught outside of Control It from the start and seemed disturbed by the outside position, laid a few lengths back throughout and settled to the middle of the lane coming home with a mild rally to get within two lengths at the wire.

4th      Control It                          Bigchief Stables                6.05-1 (HRP) 5-1 (SRF)

Control It was briefly involved but dropped off early on and was never a factor thereafter.
