Grey Swallow
Grey Swallow (foaled 19 February 2001) was an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a racing which lasted from July 2003 until October 2006 he competed in five countries and won six of his fifteen races. He was unbeaten in two races as a two-year-old including the Killavullan Stakes and won the Leopardstown 2,000 Guineas Trial Stakes on his first appearance of 2004. After being placed in both the 2000 Guineas and the Irish 2000 Guineas he recorded his most important success when defeating the Epsom Derby winner North Light in the Irish Derby. As a four-year-old he defeated a strong field to win the Tattersalls Gold Cup, but did not win again in Europe. He was campaigned internationally in 2006, winning the Jim Murray Memorial Handicap in California. At the end of his racing career he was retired to become a breeding stallion in Australia.
==Background==
Grey Swallow is a grey horse bred in Ireland by Marguerite Weld, the mother of the trainer Dermot Weld. He is probably the best horse sired by the multiple Group One winner Daylami, from whom he inherited his colour. His dam, Style of Life won two minor races as a three-year-old in 1988, and was a sister of the Ballycorus Stakes winner Seasonal Pickup. She produced at least six other winners.
In September 2002, the yearling was consigned by the Pipers Hill Stud to the Tattersalls Houghton Sale at Newmarket and was bought for 150,000 guineas by the bloodstock agents McKeever St Lawrence. He entered the ownership of Rochelle Quinn and was sent into training with Dermot Weld at the Curragh, County Kildare.
