WINNER OF LIVERPOOL COP Paddy Became Unreliable as a Three-Year-Old After Showing Great Juvenile Promise. BY E. E. COUSSEL.L. 1X3NDON, England, April 1.— Paddy, which won the Liverpool Spring Cup, was more than useful in 1923 when he won four two-year-old races. Last season after winning the Pontefract Three-Year-Old Plate in April, beating Haine, he became rather unreliable. A grand looking colt, his reputation prevented his making 5,000 when Lady Bradford tried to sell him last December. During the winter Paddy was trained over hurdles in the hope he would again take an interest in his work. Evidently it has succeeded so far. He ran twice in February, winning his last start, a ,000 hurdle handicap over two miles at Newbury with 147 pounds. Handicapped with 115 pounds, Paddy was strongly fancied to win the Spring Cup at Liverpool, for which he started joint favorite with Dinkie — the 50 to 1 winner of the Royal Hunt Cup last June. Dinkie put up a great struggle; when just leading in the last furlong his leg gave way. Paddy, gamely answering his rider, was up to win by a neck. This brings his winnings up to 0,000. Paddy is a bay colt by Golden Sun from Shanogue. As a foal in December, 1921, he was sold for 340 guineas. He is the first foal of Shanogue, whose second produce, a bay sister to Paddy, was, as a foal, bought by the writer for John Hertz in December, 1923, for $:;,S50. She was exported to the J United States. Golden Sun, of course, sired Marshall Fields good filly Golden Corn, which, by the way, produced a bay colt foal by Bachelors Double on March 13 and has gone to be bri-d to Gay Crusader. Shanogue h: by William the Third — Isleta, the dam of Brisl, who last season won the Newbury Autumn Cup, only to be disquali-field for bumping Diapason. Isleta is by Isinglass from Galatia by Hampton. She was successful in the Park Hill Stakes over! the Doncaster St. I.eger course. ■ *
