Paradis Does if for his Owners

Wed 4th Feb 2009, 14:33

Paradis De Thaix (13/2 in the morning into 11/2) came home best under Tommy Treacy to take the Bank Of Ireland Global Markets Maiden Hurdle by half a length, from favourite, Judge Roy Bean

Owned by the mainly Belfast-based Hard To Get Ten Syndicate, this French-bred was losing his maiden tag at the tenth attempt.

Eamonn Leigh, representative of winning trainer, Jessica Harrington, said: "He is tough and stays at it. He was struggling from a long way out. Hopefully he will turn into a chaser some day." (EM)
