Pedigree Notes
Grey Swallow offers breeders a unique sire line – that of the wonderfully influential Mill Reef, Grey Swallow's great grandsire. There is a modern phenomenon of the Mill Reef line matching magnificently with Northern Dancer line stallions, particularly Sadler's Wells and his sons. Grey Swallow is a reverse of this trend, in that he is by a Mill Reef line stallion from a Northern Dancer line mare. Breeders should note that when a Sadler's Wells line mare is mated to a Mill Reef line stallion, there is double the chance of producing a Stakes winner than a Sadler's Wells line mare to other sire lines. Daughters of Sadler's Wells's sons in Australia, including Barathea, Galileo, Montjeu, Runyon, Savoire Vivre and Festival Hall should be consider ideal mates with Grey Swallow.
