My Swallow
My Swallow (22 February 1968 – ca. 1988) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He won eight of his eleven races in a racing career which lasted from May 1970 until July 1971. In 1970 he was undefeated in seven races including the Woodcote Stakes, Prix du Bois, Prix Robert Papin, Prix Morny, Prix de la Salamandre and Grand Criterium. My Swallow set a record for prize money won by a two-year-old in Europe and was rated the best of an exceptional crop of European juveniles. He won on his three-year-old debut, but then finished third to Mill Reef and Brigadier Gerard in the 2000 Guineas. My Swallow finished second in his two remaining races before being retired to stud. He had moderate success as a sire of winners in the United Kingdom and Japan.
==Background==
My Swallow was a big, powerful bay horse standing 16.3 hands high with a white blaze and white socks on his hind legs bred in Ireland by Myles Walsh. His sire was the Seamus McGrath-owned Le Levanstell, who won the Sussex Stakes and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in 1961 before a successful stud career. His best winner prior to My Swallow was Levmoss, who won the Ascot Gold Cup and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 1969. My Swallow was the second foal of his dam Darrigle, whose other winners included the Premio Pisa winner Drobny.〔 〕
As a yearling, My Swallow was sent to the sales in Dublin where he was bought for 5,000 guineas by Lord Harrington acting on behalf of the businessman and philanthropist David Robinson. The colt was sent to Robinson's Clarehaven Stables where he was trained by Paul Davey.〔
