Frankie's Empire (c, 3, Classic Empire–Donna D, by Dixie Union)'s Florida debut was a winning one, the colt overtaking the heavy favorite late in the stretch to win the Swale S. going away. Making his seasonal bow for new trainer Michael Yates, he'd last been seen at Parx winning an optional claimer at 15-1 odds for trainer Susan Crowell.

Fellow longshot Le Dom Bro (Mucho Macho Man) claimed second at 13-1 while Grand Mo the First (Uncle Mo) rallied for third. The final time was 1:24.22.

 

It was wide open coming to the stretch until #9 FRANKIE'S EMPIRE ($30) emerged with the lead and pulled away to win the $125K Swale Stakes. The son of Classic Empire was ridden by Miguel Vasquez and is trained by Michael Yates.
