Tiago beat subsequent BC Dirt Mile and Donn winner Albertus Maximus in his Swaps. I think the most accomplished horses he ended up beating in the Santa Anita Derby that year were the decent turf horse Medici Code and sprinter Black Seventeen.
The Swaps has always been a very productive race. Even last year, while Tres Borrachos didn't train on, Two Step Salsa and Colonel John have remained in the spotlight. The most modest runnings perhaps were Arson Squad's victory (and even he's been threatening to reach top class status) and During's a few years ago.
