The genial Warwick Farm trainer is currently getting over multiple strokes which followed surgery for ongoing heart arrhythmia.

He reveals that his wife Martha was just getting over a broken leg when his health problems surfaced.
Paul talks about the very honest Monsieur Sisu who ran a close second at Rosehill a few days after this podcast was recorded.
The trainer takes us back to early days in Ireland when his affinity with horses became obvious.
He talks of his economical passage to Australia and his first job in Sydney. He recalls a chance meeting with a Doctor which led to his first involvement with a thoroughbred.
Paul remembers the thrill of his first training win at Newcastle and his initial city win.
He talks of his disappointment when the vacant land near Warwick Farm racecourse disappeared. He spent more time in Riley’s paddock than he did on the racecourse. He later purchased a property at Mulgoa.
