First Southern Hemisphere foals for Paddington

Media Release - Monday August 25

A four-time Group I winner by champion French sire Siyouni, European superstar, PADDINGTON, has had his first Southern Hemisphere foals arrive on the ground at Windsor Park.

“Both his foals are outstanding” commented Rodney Schick. “They have substance and quality. His own attributes are evident in his foals.”

First on the ground was a colt from a Mastercraftsman mare, The Flying Mullet.

"He is correct, has leg and strength. I’m thrilled with him,” said Schick.

Second to foal to Paddington was Mobgolian Khan mare Black Queen, a half-sister to Karaka Million winner Dynastic.

“This brown filly is the first foal from the mare. She has quality, is well-marked, with good bone. It is an excellent first foal," Shick said adding, "I’m really thrilled with the PADDINGTON foals to date - you would expect so as he is a magnificent specimen, but it gives me great excitement about what’s to come.”
