Swiss Skydiver zeroing in on Beholder Mile or Azeri

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Swiss Skydiver, the 3-year-old filly champion of 2020, was out for serious work before dawn Friday at Gulfstream, with a half-mile breeze in 46.80 seconds. It was the third work for Swiss Skydiver since she returned from a short rest at trainer Kenny McPeek’s Ocala, Fla., farm, Silverleaf Hills.

McPeek said Swiss Skydiver likely will make her 4-year-old debut in the Beholder Mile at Santa Anita or the Azeri at Oaklawn Park, both set for March 13.

“What she did this morning was like breaking sticks,” said McPeek. “She’s doing super.”

McPeek said that Envoutante, who breezed a half-mile in 49.40 seconds shortly after Swiss Skydiver went Friday, probably will run in whichever of those March 13 stakes that Swiss Skydiver skips.
