Going With Swashbuckler In Sunday’s 3-Year-Old Maiden Call

2026 3 Year Olds BLUE

The sixth race on Sunday, March 29, 2026, is for three-year-old maidens.

A field of 13 have been nominated to compete over a trip of five furlongs.

The Quick Galloper’s take on the possible outcome is shared with readers.

1 – SWASHBUCKLER

Bay colt (February 27) by Bern Identity out of Sweet Like Sugar

Trainer – Peter-John Parsard

Jockey – Omar Walker

Swashbuckler, a bay colt from the Parsard barn, had to settle for second best behind his stablemate on debut down the straight course. Drawn in the one box, he must break sharply to avoid traffic and establish position early. His morning gallops have shown steady improvement, and connections believe he is progressing in the right direction. With natural speed and developing maturity, Swashbuckler could be a serious contender if he gets a clean trip.

 2 – STRONG AVEENU

Bay colt (March 19) by Aveenu Malcainu out of Ruby Rose

Trainer – Patrick Lynch

Jockey – Demar Williams

Note – First time Lasix

Strong Aveenu made his debut on March 14, showing flashes of ability but still learning his craft. The addition of Lasix is expected to sharpen his performance, and his pedigree suggests he will improve with racing experience. Lynch’s charge is one to keep an eye on for future races, but he could surprise with a bold showing here if the medication brings out his best.

 3 – BEHAVE

Bay filly (April 28) by Conquest Cherimash out of Bedroom Chatter

Trainer – Barrington Bernard

Jockey – Richie Shakes

Note – First time Lasix

Behave, a bay filly, has shown promise but lacked finishing power in her earlier efforts. With Lasix added for the first time, improvement is anticipated. She can be competitive, and can also be a factor in the exotics. Behave may not yet be ready to dominate, but she is a live outsider who could sneak into the frame.

 4 – HENDRIX (imported in utero)

Bay colt (April 24) by Frank Conversation out of Happy Face

Trainer – Gary Subratie

Jockey – Dane Dawkins

Note – Visor on, tongue tie on

Hendrix finished a distant 22 lengths behind the winner on debut, but notable equipment changes, including a visor and tongue tie have been made, while also securing a top rider in Dawkins. These adjustments could spark significant improvement. Though his first run was disappointing, he is one to watch closely for signs of progress.

 5 – SONADOR

Chestnut filly (January 1) by Hedge Fund out of Queenofsaintrose

Trainer – Stedman Curtis

Jockey – Reyan Lewis

Note – Tongue tie on

Sonador showed promise when finishing second on debut but failed to replicate that effort in her next start. She appears somewhat unpredictable, but her natural ability cannot be ignored. With Lewis aboard and a tongue tie added, she could bounce back. Sonador remains a filly to consider, especially for those looking at the exotic wagers.

 6 – WONDERFUL VISION

Bay filly (May 4) by Patton Proud out of Dicolas Brat

Trainer – Phillip Lee

Jockey – Everton Miller

Wonderful Vision has only one start under her belt, and the filly looked green and in need of more time to develop. She is unlikely to trouble the principals in this race, but with patience and experience, she may improve down the line. For now, she seems best left alone.

 7 – DARK AUTHORITY

Bay colt (April 16) by Conquest Cherimash out of Rough Love

Trainer – Anthony Nunes

Jockey – Raddesh Roman

Note – Tongue tie on

Dark Authority finished third behind Victorious Links in his only outing on January 3, showing good speed over 5 ½ furlongs. The reduction in trip should suit him well, and has now been equipped him with a tongue tie.  With natural pace and a favourable distance, Dark Authority looks poised to make a strong bid.

 8 – SOCIAL STORM

Bay filly (April 12) by Aveenu Malcainu out of Storm Salina

Trainer – Jason DaCosta

Jockey – Clive Lynch

Note – Blinkers, first time Lasix

Social Storm makes her debut with blinkers and Lasix, both positive signs of intent from her connections. Social Storm has been thoroughly prepared, with several strong gallops suggesting readiness. Though inexperienced, she has the look of a filly who could make an immediate impact. A debut win is not out of the question.

9 – EL CAPTION

Chestnut colt (May 11) by Successful Native out of Empress Nicole

Trainer – Alford Brown

Jockey – Robert Halledeen

Note – Blinkers off, visor on

El Caption has raced twice, finishing second on debut before failing to build on that effort. The equipment changes may help him focus better, and his early promise suggests he has ability. He is worth following, particularly in exotic wagers, as he has shown glimpses of competitiveness.

10 – MEDAL OF GOLD

Bay colt (April 13) by Hedge Fund out of Bashybashycamille

Trainer – Courtney Williams

Jockey – Phillip Parchment

Note – Visor off, tongue tie on

Medal of Gold finished sixth on debut, 7 ½ lengths behind the winner, which was a respectable effort. The addition of a tongue tie could aid his effort, and he has the scope to improve. Against this field, Medal of Gold has a chance of finishing on the board.

11 – QUEEN MAJESTY

Bay filly (April 20) by Strikewhileitshot out of Valley of Queens

Trainer – Edward Stanberry

Jockey – Paul Francis

Queen Majesty is a seasoned entry, having raced five times. However, her performances have been modest, and she has yet to show the spark needed to win. Experience is her main asset, but she has a long way to go before becoming a serious threat.

12 – ANOTHER QUALITY

Chestnut filly (May 8) by Sensational Slam out of Naturally Mystical Trainer – Oral Hayden

Jockey – Emelio McLean

Note – Blinkers on

Another Quality is the most experienced runner in the field, with eight starts to her name. Despite her exposure, she has been inconsistent, with her best effort being a minor placing. Blinkers are added to sharpen her focus, but she remains a filly who has yet to deliver on her potential.

13 – I LOVE BIRDIE

Bay colt (January 22) by Savoy Stomp out of Birdie My Love

Trainer – Fitzroy Glispie

Jockey – Calvin Bailey

Note – Lasix

I Love Birdie makes his first start and has caught the eye of morning onlookers with his workouts. With Lasix added, expectations are high for a promising debut. He is an intriguing newcomer who could make his presence felt right away.

 CONCLUSION

This race features a mix of lightly raced colts and fillies, debutantes, and experienced runners still searching for consistency. Swashbuckler looks progressive and could capitalize on his inside draw, while Dark Authority appears well-suited to the shorter trip. Social Storm and I Love Birdie are debutants with strong preparation and could spring surprises. Meanwhile, Behave and Sonador are worth considering for exotic wagers. Overall, this is a competitive field where improvement, equipment changes, and race-day conditions will play a decisive role in determining the outcome.
