Best wishes to Paddy O'Prado (El Prado [IRE] x Fun House, by Prized) on a happy retirement. The announcement was made by trainer Dale Romans today to retire Paddy following a sesamoid injury, which was probably caused during or after his victory in the Dixie Stakes (II) over the weekend.
A graded stakes competitor across all surfaces, Paddy O'Prado will move on to a stud career next. A real shame too; he looked poised to be at his best ever this year.
