The Swale was inaugurated in 1985 as a seven furlong sprint but in 2007 was modified to 6.5 furlongs for two years.
The race was named in honor of Claiborne Farm's brilliant colt Swale 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 2009, Big Drama set a new stakes and track record of 1:20.88 but was disqualified and placed second.[2]
This race was upgraded to a Grade II for its 2014 running[3] but then downgraded to Grade III in 2018.

gollark: Servers are cheap.
gollark: Or they don't and are just picking pricing arbitrarily! Who knows?
