The impressive Dundalk Maiden winner of the Padre (Irish) (Ghaiyyath {IRE}) was sold to continue his career in California, where he is trained by Phil d'amato.
The padre bred by John Halley made a large impression last month at his first and only start for his son Josh and won a 1m2f Maiden with almost three lengths under Wayne Lordan.
“We thought a bit of him before we came here and he was probably the best of my two -year -olds last year,” Josh told Irising.com after this debut victory.
“He showed a lot and then his family tree said that he would be a later two -year -old. He is on the market and that's our business, ”added the coach.

Mick Donohoe from BBA Ireland clearly listened and announced on Monday that the high -class view of joining d'amato was ensured a deal where he will drive in the colors Little Red Feather Racing.
Donohoe said: “Horses like the priest don't come up too often on the private market and his father obviously looks as if he would become one of these outbreaks, don't he? The Ghaiyyaths appear as if they would remain good, which, in contrast to what some people believe, gives a forceful demand for these middle style types and races around the world. “
He added: “The priest achieved a good rating when winning Dundalk and how he was most impressive at the end of the race, which continued his career in California – where horses need a change. In the end, he showed this speed, which is significant for America. “
Little Red Feather Racing, which is led by Billy Koch, has achieved a good measure of success with his Irish recruits, especially with top scorer -Gold -Phoenix (ire) (Belardo {ire}), who also shot his maiden day at Dundalk , Before he was, snapped from his current connections.
Donohoe continued: “We had much success for Phil, but for Niall Dalton and I was very simple because Phil is a genius of what he does. He is one of the leading coaches in California and is characterized by these European horses. That makes the thing much easier and between all of us we all know the type of horse that corresponds to California from the family tree to conformation, and we believe that the priest fits this bill. “
He said: “Even last year, when his descendants did not run, the coach was the word that they liked the Ghaiyyaths, but they only took time for a bit like a Dubawi thing. He could be a very fascinating father who is a Dubawi, because whatever it is in this genetics, they work well when they come to sunnier areas. The Dubawis go to every surface and when they go to America and the Middle East, they tend to train a lot on the dirt. Dubawi himself and indeed sons of Dubawi take care of both surfaces very well so that it could be invigorating. “
