History
[edit]The race was named in honor of Claiborne Farm's brilliant colt Swale[1] who won the 1984 Florida Derby, Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes but who died suddenly of a heart attack eight days after his Belmont victory. In 2021 Claiborne Farm are the sponsors of the event.[2]
The inaugural running of the event was on 2 March 1985 as the tenth race on the Florida Derby racecard over a distance of seven furlongs.[3] The event was won by the 1984 United States Champion 2-year-old colt, Chief's Crown who was resuming after his Breeders' Cup Juvenile victory at Hollywood Park Racetrack victory easily dispatched the field winning by 3+1⁄4 lengths as the 3/10 odds-on favorite.[3]
The event was not held in 1987.[4]
In 1990 the event was upgraded to a Grade III[5] and once again to Grade II in 2006.[5]
For two runnings of the event, in 2007 and 2008 the race was run over the shorter 6+1⁄2 furlongs distance.[4]
In 2009, Big Drama set a new stakes and track record of 1:20.88 but was disqualified and placed second with the race awarded to This Ones for Phil.[6]
This race was upgraded once again to a Grade II for its 2014 running[7] but then downgraded again to Grade III in 2018.[5]
In 2024 the event was downgraded by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association to Listed status[8]
