Following on from Ballydoyle's earlier winner Accredited (Siyouni), Causeway (Wootton Bassett) made it a double for the yard on Naas's Sunday card as he emulated Paddington in winning the Madrid Handicap under top weight.Whether he goes on to hit the heights of his predecessor remains to be seen, but the Curragh maiden winner who hails from the family of Magical and Rhododendron showed grit to deny former stablemate Controlled (No Nay Never) in a photo for the seven-furlong contest.“Seven furlongs is on the right side for him and he can only improve from today,” Ryan Moore said of the full-brother to last year's Irish Oaks third Island Hopping. “He's got a lovely attitude and is a big horse who can go on. We've got to go a long way before we can compare him with Paddington, but you'd have to be very happy with that.”Causeway strikes in the €50,000 Irish Racing Writers Association Madrid Handicap!The Wootton Bassett colt got a decent mention at the recent Ballydoyle press morning and he makes a winning start as a three-year-old under Ryan Moore at @NaasRacecourse pic.twitter.com/NOCFpNOvUC— Racing TV (@RacingTV) March 22, 2026The post Causeway Emulates Paddington In The Madrid appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
