GOD forbid that one of their horses would win when I nap it or back it but it was still good to see the Pat McKenna-trained Catch The Paddy oblige by two lengths in the mile handicap at Dundalk last Friday evening.

The four-year-old No Nay Never gelding, who scored by two lengths in the hands of Rory Mulligan, is owned in partnership by Pat and his son Emmet for whom he was having his first start since being purchased for just 3,500gns at the autumn Horses in Training sale at Tattersalls Newmarket. Catch The Paddy won three times when in the care of Kevin Ryan.
