Super Swerte never skipped a beat despite a long layoff due to the pandemic, exacting a sweet revenge against Pangalusian Island in the Philracom Commissioner’s Cup 2021 at the San Lazaro Leisure Park in Carmona, Cavite on Sunday, May 23.
Racing under bemedalled jockey JB Guce and trainer Ruben Tupas, Super Swerte crossed the finish line in one minute and 40 seconds, five lengths ahead of Pangalusian Island in the 1,600-meter race staged for the fire victims and medical frontliners at the Philippine General Hospital.
Super Swerte stormed right out of the gates but surrendered the lead to Patong Patong inside the 900-meter mark before the Mayor Sandy Javier-owned horse regained footing and broke away in the final 350 meters.
