Congratulations Ms TB Hlupo! How smart is it to own an unraced two-year-old who wins her first start at Borrowdale Park?

On Sunday, the 22nd of June 2025, Ziwewere, with Keven Derere up, won the 1100m New Galaxy Maiden Plate. By Royal Mo (USA) and bred by Geoff Armitage, the Debra Swanson-trained filly beat another first timer, Matilda Fitzwalter (Daniels) by a length.

After that, Debra was on a roll. King’s Crown (Daniels) won the 1700m Borrowdale C 75 Stakes; Red Top (Daniels) the 1100m Classified Stakes; Magic Exists (Daniels), the 1450m Pinnacle Plate 85; Ultimate Jewel (Derere) the 1600m MR 91 Handicap, and finally Majestic Warrior (Daniels) took the 1260m Pinnacle Plate 105.

What a day, Debra…
