Swing Vote (Constitution) went off as the favorite on debut in Hallandale Dec. 28. The late juvenile was slow out of the blocks and on hold approaching the stretch, but she offered a determined run at the rail and a strong gallop out after finishing third.
Serving as the chalk once again here, the 9-5 choice raced behind the speed in the two path as a scramble ensued on the engine up the backstretch. The filly moved right past the 'Insighted' Beneficence (Into Mischief) around the far turn and began to target a trio of leaders before the top of the lane. Spoiling for a fight, the 3-year-old collared Sippin Pretty (Yaupon) inside the final sixteenth and turned the maiden bill into law for herself. Beneficence finished seventh.
The second foal for her dam, the winner has a 2-year-old full-sister named Fifth and Walnut, who went to Mainline Racing/Avalong Racing for $275,000 during Keeneland September, and a yearling half-brother by Curlin. A half-sister to the dam of SW La Ville Lumiere (City of Light), Fast Scene was bred to Justify for this term.
Out of an extended female family which includes GI Kentucky Derby hero Monarchos (Maria's Mon), Swing Vote's second dam is a full-sister to SW Supreme (Empire Maker), herself the dam of current sire Silver State (Hard Spun).
