Swiss Skydiver (born in March 10, 2017) is a retired American champion Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 2020 Preakness Stakes, only the sixth filly to win the second leg of the Triple Crown.

[1] She raced in the red and blue colors of her owner Peter Callahan,[4] who named the horse after his granddaughter Callie Rasnake who sent him a video message of her parachuting over the Swiss Alps in November 2018.

[6] Swiss Skydiver's dam Expo Gold showed modest ability on the track, winning two minor races from five starts.

[7] She is a female-line descendant of the broodmare Cloud High, making her a distant relative of the Belmont Stakes winner Da' Tara.

[12] Swiss Skydiver captured her third graded stakes win when she won the Santa Anita Oaks on June 6.

[14] She came back to win the Alabama Stakes, the third leg of the New York Triple Tiara, by 3 1/2 lengths, establishing her as the top three-year-old filly of 2020 so far.

In the 2020 Kentucky Oaks, Swiss Skydiver ran in third place for most of the race, before passing the tiring favorite Gamine and just falling short of the eventual winner Shedaresthedevil.

Her owner Peter Callahan was strongly leaning towards the Distaff, but trainer Kenny McPeek was keen to take a shot at the Classic.

Her stumble out of the gate left her no chance to win, but her connections hoped for a possible rematch with the winner Monomoy Girl in 2021.

Swiss Skydiver ran her first race as a four-year-old in the Beholder Mile Stakes at Santa Anita Park.

The win was even more impressive because Swiss Skydiver had to ship out to California to face a strong field at 1/4 of a mile less than her ideal distance.

After that easy win, she was shipped to Oaklawn Park for a re-match with Monomoy Girl in the Apple Blossom Handicap at 1 1/16 miles.

Swiss Skydiver's next race was the Grade 1 Whitney Stakes against older males at Saratoga Racecourse on August 7.
