Peter Savill looking to get back in the Swing at the Galway Festival

Peter Savill’s maroon and blue silks will forever be associated with Celtic Swing, whose legacy lives on with an interesting runner for the owner at Galway on Tuesday evening.

The businessman and former chairman of the old British Horseracing Board is based in County Wicklow and breeds from Oak Hill Stud, where the line from which Chasing The Dawn hails has been maintained.

The Acclamation filly, who makes her debut for Jessica Harrington in the COLM QUINN BMW Irish EBF Fillies Maiden, is the third foal of Urban Daydream, who in turn is out of Celtic Swing’s influential half-sister Celtic Fling.

There has been some promise already in the progeny of Urban Daydream, who retired as a maiden but has already thrown dual winner Monaadhil and Cecchini, who made a winning juvenile debut in Savill’s colours for Ralph Beckett and was runner-up in last year’s Lingfield Oaks Trial on her second and final start.

Celtic Swing was one of the two-year-old sensations of modern times who went on to land the French Derby in 1995 and sired the likes of Takeover Target and Six Perfections before his death in 2010. Celtic Fling also raced for Lady Herries, winning a Windsor maiden, and was taken on by Savill to breed his Italian Group 1 winner Rainbow Peak.

While Harrington has proved a dab hand with her youngsters once again, it will be a stiff assignment to land an event won on her second start 12 months ago by the dual Guineas winner Hermosa.

Trainer Aidan O’Brien has three already blooded representatives headed by Petite Mustique, the quietly improving sister to Group 1 winner Johannes Vermeer, Australia filly Mythic and Darkest, a 325,000gns Book 1 purchase from Book 1 by MV Magnier who will have to take a fair step forward from her Naas debut.

Dermot Weld, the traditional Ballybrit maestro, runs a close relative of the brilliant Azamour in Azila, who was a place behind Petite Mustique when they were beaten by the exciting Love at Leopardstown on July 11.

There is also some interesting maiden action as the summer swing continues at Deauville, where Winwood makes his debut for Andre Fabre in the Prix Irish River.

By a bang in form Siyouni, the colt was the joint top lot at last year’s BBAG Yearling Sale when bought by Godolphin for €280,000.

He comes from the influential Wurfbahn line, which has delivered the likes of Waldgeist and Masked Marvel. Dam Waldtraut, who was third in the German Oak herself, is a half-sister to the recent Hackwood Stakes winner Waldpfad.
