2 unusual facts about Celtic Swing


Celtic Swing

All was set for the 2,000 Guineas on 6 May 1995, a race run amid almost unbearable expectations (on that day's Morning Line, John McCririck said to Jim McGrath, who was strongly involved with Timeform which had said that the race was a "certainty", that if the horse did not win by at least eight lengths McGrath was finished).

His name, although partially inspired by that of his dam, was specifically taken from a Van Morrison track.
