Unfortunate that he got sick before coming over for the BC, but imho he will be a welcome outcross for all of Coolmore's Galileo mares. Really good-looking colt.

Dubawi too? What do you mean?
Yeah, Dubawi is an outcross to Galileo, but Coolmore doesn't stand Dubawi. Paddington is going to be a Coolmore asset for their own mares.

they still own a bunch of Dubawi mares though iirc. i'd have to double check but i think all the mares i mentioned above (from Ballydoyle) are Coolmore-owned. you'd have to think they'll send at least some of those (from the list) to Paddington for his first year.

You all are assuming that they even support him. They usually don't support their new stallions themselves until they prove worthy of the broodmare band.

How long did it take them to start breeding their own mares to Wooten Bassett?

He was proven when they bought him. They did support St. Mark's Basilica, American Pharoah(slightly) and Justify. But besides those 3, I can't think of one in recent memory. Maybe they have to now though cause they don't have Galileo to always send every mare to.

G1w Faiza (Girvin) is being offered as a BP only at Fasig-Tipton tonight. she only worked once after her "bad post" scratch (in September, ~1 month after the scratch). glad she's okay, but makes it harder to believe they just didn't like the post. 😬
