@ ksmrow

     Trust you will not mind my pointing out that Dynamic Dancer was ridden by S. Marshall in the Deccan Derby and by C. Rutter in the Golconda Derby.

During late 70's and early 80's there was a jockey named Karan Singh. He had a habit of coming from behind and piping the horse on the post. He never comes in front, he will accelerate in the last 100 meters and will get the photo finish verdict in his favour. He has more than 1000 winners to his credit.

If you play his horse, your heart will be in your mouth.

One has to admire the way Padmanabhan strives for excellence. He always tries to enter his horses in graded races and classic races. His horses travel very well too. 

Major Sab once pointed out that ,  In The Spotlight was the most travelled horse  in history before she entered the paddock for Indian Derby. The way she won the Derby was a tribute to the methods adopted by Padmanabhan. 

According to me, Paddy's greatest achiement was the way In the Spotlight recovered from a life threatening illness! No doubt his wife was the senior partner in this miracle, however, there is no taking away the credit from Payy. His enormous love for this wonderful filly/noiw mare, ensured the recovery. And we all knoiw how she decimated her opponents. I recall the derby in Calcutta. Dandified was the favourite that day and I was also blessed to be able to place a neat packet on her at 4 3/4! And she decimated the field! Those days, there was no TV transmission or if there was, I did not get to seel her. Relied on the commentary and it was pretty good. In the Indian Derby too, Jockey Martin Dwyer had very little to do except make sure she met no interference and that he did not fall off!

No doubt that Paddy is the next best to RR Byramji. I did not know that his middle name is Rueben. Many thanks for this tid bit.

Cheers

@ Cruise -B'lore :  You are correct about Dynamic Dancer win but before that his first classic winner was Golden Fantasy which won Mysore 1000 guineas in 1991 and the same was mentioned by me. Padmanabhan's derby winning horses  list was long,  so I simply mentioned he won more than 20 derby races all over India.  Still as pointed by you,  I would have have mentioned about DD.  His horses paddock looks always attracts punters more, as he maintains the horses in good and very fit  condition .

Padmanabhan is a very talented trainer. According to me Rashid Byramj,  Pessi Shroff and Padmanabhan are my top three favorite trainers.

Yes, Paddy is one of the best trainer, perhaps next to  RR Byramjee...

Paddy - really good ,one of the best or the best - Cruise over here used to follow him blindly .

Hello SC Sharma,

The first major classic success was with DYNAMIC DANCER, who won the Deccan derby in 1992 monsoon season and the Golconda derby during winter season.

regds,
Cruise

He is a wonderful trainer who crafted carreer with hard work. I am totally unlucky with class one trainers every time. But very few times won on Paddy's wards who won on longer odds. 

Kia ora ridden by MJ Azad given me 15 to 1 for win at Bangalore.

A grey horse name forgets won on 2000 m with 1200 plus at Bangalore winter are two good bets won.Most of the time his wards are in first four and I omit it.

One very ordinary horse who turned to be a fine sprinter is gralemour most of the time piloted by S.Rajesh.

The best day which I remember is sprinters and stayers won by Padmanabhan, Lyrical bid and moment of glory( on this horse I never lost any bets)

Paddy the legend... As always
