After Two ‘Top-Level Successes’ 3-Year-Old Colt Looks to Make His Mark on G1 Tier Prestigious Equestrian Event

In the world of majestic four-legged creatures, just like humans, each one is unique and develops at its own pace. Therefore, judging them prematurely would be unfair. This sentiment perfectly applies to the 2023 Glorious Goodwood Equestrian Festival’s strongest contender, Paddington. This year a total of 37 boast races are lined up. Starting from August 1 and Paddington will be in one of the G1 tiers to attain another level of achievement.

His exceptional progress and skill development have astounded the Equestrian community. Even his trainer, Aidan O’Brien, is in awe and disbelief when comparing his growth from previous years to what he has achieved now. Aidan has shared emotional words for Paddington with the sports world. Let’s dive deep and unfold what he has said!

“Abnormal” Equestrian star’s incredible journey!

The exciting equestrian action will unfold from August 1 to August 5, featuring three highly anticipated Group 1 races: the Goodwood Cup for stayers, Sussex Stakes for star milers, and Nassau Stakes. New champions are poised to emerge in this thrilling competition. Along with Giant’s Causeway, the first runner-up of Sussex Stakes, Paddington, another star is set to garner love from the Equestrian fans. 

According to BLOOD HORSE News, the mastermind behind his training can hardly believe the amazing growth this young colt has shown. O’Brien described his growth as “abnormal“. His continuous improvement from one race to another leaves spectators in awe. He said, “That’s just the way he carries himself. Every horse is different. Every human being is different too. We all carry ourselves differently. He’s very aggressive and when you ask him to quicken he really grabs hold of the bit and does quicken.

He further added, “It’s very unusual, but I suppose everything he is doing is very unusual. He looks a very special horse.” As he soared to become the second-highest-rated horse in training after a triumphant run at Sandown. But wait, we have one more in the row!

Emily Dickinson: The Formidable Challenger

While Paddington basks in the spotlight, Emily Dickinson cannot be ignored. With a recent victory in the Curragh Cup (G2), this talented mare, also trained by Aidan O’Brien, has her eyes fixed on glory at the Goodwood Cup (G1). Emily’s affinity for softer ground and her versatility on the track have earned her acclaim.
