Swift One well named at Headquarters

Swift One brought up plenty of bets when scooting home in the six-furlong nursery at the Curragh.

He was backed from 8/1 to 4/1 this morning before being returned at 7/2.

Mikey Sheehy had him tracking the leader Jarvis and the pair took closer racing to the final furlong.

Swift One's progress saw him join Jarvis with 150 yards to go and the No Nay Never colt went on in the final 100 yards to win going away by a comfortable two and a half lengths.

Jarvis gave it a good go from the front but was outgunned in second at 7/1.

"All his maidens worked out well and we always liked him at home,” said Joseph O'Brien.

“He was quite well fancied on a couple of his runs and we were a little disappointed, but I was looking back at the form and all the races worked out well.

“He won nicely today. Maybe he just ran in some good races and he showed today what we've seen at home.

“He'll have no problem going seven but he's definitely quick enough for six.

“He has plenty of options. He won off 71 today so we'll go for another nursery and take it from there. There is a seven-furlong nursery in Galway we could go to.”
