Coming off an impressive 6 3/4-length win at 1 1/16 miles on the turf in December at Calder,SWIFT WARRIOR gave a good account of himself to place in the 1 1/8-mile $100,000 Tropical Park Derby.
This son of FIRST SAMURAI also was runner-up in the Foolish Pleasure S. after winning a Maiden Special Weight by nine lengths.
Out of the stakes-producing Afleet mare Afleet Summer, SWIFT WARRIOR was bred by Paget Bloodstock, Nearctic Bloodtsock, & Carhue Investments and is owned and trained by Steven Dwoskin.
