Grey Swallow could be something very special

ON Friday evening, June 27, the weekend of the Irish Derby, Dermot Weld’s Grey Swallow was due to make his debut in a lowly maiden at the Curragh over seven furlongs.

The word was that the son of Daylami was rated a bit special and he was duly backed from 4-6 to 1-2.

But, of course, Grey Swallow never actually ran, after getting upset in the stalls and then having another horse literally climb in on top of him.
