Galway Thu, 30th Jul, 2026  Shadow Paddy It is this dream you are chasing the whole time and Ella, my second child, has a tear in her eye leading him in and another daughter Clodagh is the same. I was under pressure today as I thought it was our race to lose which, for an outfit of our size, is pressure. The race didn't go to plan as he was going too well and then drifted wide, but once he knuckled down he settled it quickly. When Aintree went wrong, Galway was the plan and now that that has been achieved, he'll have a little holiday and come back for a graded chase at Gowran. He has so many options. These are real racing owners and I can't thank them enough as they follow him everywhere. I was so nervous all morning so I'm buzzing now as this horse doesn't understand the weight on his shoulders. I have big aspirations for him and this is what we do it for.

Killarney Fri, 17th Jul, 2026  Shadow Paddy He’s a lovely horse and we hold him in high regard. It’s a great syndicate that owns him,. I just felt that he won his beginners’ very easy and going to Galway he just lacked that bit of experience. This fell in lovely and it’s all roads to Galway now. He’ll run in the Grade 3 novice chase there. He won four last season and two this season, he’s only a baby. We went to Aintree, we felt we’d be placed in a Grade 1, but he had a little heart issue on the day over there. That’s all sorted now and he’s two from two after it.

Limerick Thu, 21st May, 2026  Shadow Paddy The lads (Complete Package Syndicate) bought scarves with the horse's name printed going to Aintree, but were put back into the pockets quickly! We went over thinking we would genuinely be placed (in the Grade 1 Sefton Hurdle), but he had a little heart issue which, thanks to the vets, is now under control. He has the makings of a nice horse, loves the summer ground and we can dream for the summer. He is a born chaser, Galway (Grade 3 novice chase) is the plan and he is the type of horse we are trying to attract into the yard. The horse is named after Paddy McAuliffe, who had a good Flat horse with me in the past so, when I told him I had this good horse, he put a syndicate together. Paddy is a well-known character, as anyone who is a publican, politician and bookie is, and the syndicate are a great bunch of lads.
