SHARK Halon has landed a big gamble at Worcester in what was a first winning ride for the cult hero trainer’s son Paddy — on only his second ever ride in a race under rules.
Young amateur Paddy (16) has only had his jockey’s licence for seven days and partnered Chef D'Etat to win the Richard Newland Racing National Hunt Flat Race.
The four-year-old was sent-off the 4/6 favourite having been the subject of strong market support all afternoon.
