Swallow flying high in Classic betting

Highly-rated Classic hope Grey Swallow had his price for the 2000 Guineas and the Derby slashed yesterday after an impressive victory in the Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown.

Grey Swallow, now unbeaten in two starts, was given an immediate quote of 12-1 (from 14-1) for the Guineas by Ladbrokes, but that soon went as punters stepped in and a further cut left him at 9-1.
