Swift Ally never made it to the races as a freshman, but if the early stages of her three-year-old campaign mean anything she’s a filly that is certainly worth keeping your eyes on.
She won her debut at Pompano Park in 1:56 on March 21, and resurfaced more than a month later at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Despite the gap in her schedule she went on to win that assignment on April 29 in 1:56.2.
Swift Ally extended her winning streak to three-in-a-row thanks to a 1:55.3 in a $16,000 conditioned event during Thursday’s 10-race card at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
Doug McNair got away third with the daughter of Big Jim-Claires Apache, who watched stablemates Privacy Hanover and Southwind Rapunzel battle to the quarter pole in :28.2. Swift Ally rushed to the outside in the backstretch, and she quickly brushed to the front.
She went on to serve up middle splits of :57.2 and 1:26.4 before using a :28.4 closing quarter to win by 2-1/2 lengths over Southwind Rapunzel in 1:55.3. Family First was third.
Sent off as the 2-5 choice, the homebred lifted her lifetime earnings to $18,000 for trainer Gregg McNair who co-owns the talented lass with Ian Fleming of Londesborough, Ont.
