Silver Swallow is a thoroughbred race horse by Alphabet Soup (Cozzene) out of Topsom (Red Ransom) who is known for her coat coloration, a nearly white dappled grey, as well as her repeated second-place finishes in several prominent stakes races in the Southern California racing circuit. Bred by Robert L Dodd and foaled in Florida on April 14, 2004, Silver Swallow was purchased at the Keeneland September 2005 Auction for $55,000. She is currently co-owned by Irwin Molasky and trainer Bruce Headley.
Silver Swallow made her debut in a Maiden Special Weight race as a 2-year-old on opening day, December 26, for Santa Anita’s 2006–2007 meet with Alex Solis aboard. She placed third, already displaying the late-closing style that would become typical of many of her subsequent runs. She won a Maiden Special Weight as the favorite on January 14, 2007, but the then 3-year-old filly was disqualified for interference on the stretch and relegated to third place. A little more than a month later, on February 18, Silver Swallow trailed the pack and then rallied to win by two lengths in another Maiden Special Weight.
She was entered in the March 11, 2007, 11⁄16-mile Grade 1 Santa Anita Oaks, and with odds of 8.00 finished second behind future Belmont Stakes winner Rags to Riches. She was then tested on turf in the April 7, 2007, 1-mile Grade 3 Providencia Stakes with jockey R.A. Dominguez aboard instead of Solis, placing seventh.
Silver Swallow returned to the main track with Solis as the favorite for the May 13, 2007, 7f Grade 3 Railbird Stakes on Hollywood Park’s all-weather track and missed first by a nose to Ashley’s Kitty. The 3-year-old was the favorite for the 11⁄16 miles Grade 2 Hollywood Breeders' Cup Oaks run on June 10, 2007, but failed to catch Tough Tiz’s Sis and finished second on the all-weather track.
