(view all 2010 Adopted Thoroughbred)

Paddy was born and raised in  Ireland.  In 2008 he was bought specifically to be imported to the US and race in the Juvenile Breeders Cup Turf.  He did race in the Breeders Cup and then only one other time in 2009.  Unfortunately Paddy never was competitive in the US.  His owners refused to put him in a cheaper race so he was donated.  Considering that Paddy left the track in December and was just gelded in January he is very well behaved.  Easy to handle on the ground and very solid under saddle.  He is a happy gelding that truly lost his desire to race.  Paddy is very content being schooled on the flat, doesn’t mind other horses in the arena, and is very brave.  He has no apparent injuries and should be suitable for any discipline including jumping.  Paddy will need some time before being turned out with other horses, but he is fine for now being out by himself.
