Swiss Skydiver runs down Venetian Harbor in Oaklawn's Fantasy Stakes

Swiss Skydiver won the Fantasy Stakes at Oaklawn Park on Friday. She has already won a Gulfstream Park Oaks (G2) on March 28. Venetian Harbor won her first start since the Las Virgenes Stake ( G2). The Fantasy ran on what was supposed to be Kentucky Oaks day. It drew a 14-filly field full of Churchill Downs hopefuls. The trainer Kenny McPeek hopes the Ashland St.akes will be rescheduled for the Oaks.
