M M G Stables’ Undulated rallied last to first under patient handling by Alan Garcia to capture Sunday’s $128,500 Swynford Stakes, a six furlong Tapeta sprint for two-year-olds, at Woodbine.
Trained by Cathal Lynch, Undulated was last of five at the top of the lane but closed resolutely into too fast splits set by a dueling Katalox and Wellabled to win going away as the 6-1 third choice. The victory marked the second added-money win in as many days for Garcia who took the Sir Barton Stakes on Saturday’s card with Freitag.
“They were going very quick. My horse was relaxed and comfortable,” said Garcia. “When I asked him to run, he picked up the bridle. I knew they were going to stop and my horse was going to make a great kick and he did.”
