OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Circling five wide turning for home, the lightly regarded Swagger Jack ($33.60) unleashed a sustained run through the stretch to win Saturday’s 113th running of the $400,000 Carter Handicap.
Away slowest in the field of six, Swagger Jack raced in next-to-last position down the backstretch, as 26-1 outsider Consortium carved out early fractions of 22.17 and 44.63 seconds under pressure from Fort Loudon, Brigand and even-money favorite Discreet Dancer.
