I would not even put “Swift Response” on the prayer list at the London, Preston, or any of the international temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Three horses I remember betting on ( and losing, of course !) were Holy Smokes, Church Key and a nag called St. Swiftend ( the end that was swift … wasn’t! ).

I would have prayed for the horse to win. If it wins, Andy might go to church more often. If it loses nothing lost.

What’s the difference between a church and a poker game? In the poker game the praying is sincere.

What gets me is his unmitigated gall in always looking for an angle that precludes other people’s needs.
