Paul Snowden opens up on split with dad as new stable makes city debut
Paul Snowden says he was dirty on racing and didn't know if he was finished with the game after the split with his father, Peter, last year.
Now building his own team on a 60-acre property half an hour from the Port Macquarie track, Snowden is happy to be heading back to Randwick on Saturday with his first city runner, Lunaite, as a solo trainer since the end of his 10-year partnership with Peter 11 months ago.
Opening up for the first time about the split, Paul said: 'We hadn't been getting along for probably the last 10 years.
'We sort of kept it under wraps from everyone for a little while, so it was nothing new. I just wanted a change.
'I didn't know if I was finished in the industry. I was dirty on it. I didn't know if it was because of my work relationship with him, or I just needed to start again.
'After about a month I worked out, it's just a job. Since I've been up here, it's been good.'
The father-and-son team, with stables at Randwick and Flemington, was formed after their move away from Darley in 2014. They went on to win more than 1260 races, including 20 group 1s and the first two editions of The Everest, with Redzel.
Paul, though, said he had desires to go out on his own even before the partnership.
'I always knew I was going to be in his shadow all the time, and I didn't want that,' he said.

Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr live: Fight time and how to watch
Jake Paul called out a who's who of world boxing as he sets his sights on a world title after scoring a dominant win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The 28-year-old singled out cruiserweight champions Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez and Badou Jack, former heavyweight kingpin Anthony Joshua, reality TV star Tommy Fury and Gervonta Davis. Noticeably absent from that list was Aussie IBF cruiserweight world champion Jai Opetaia, who also has his eyes on Zurdo Ramirez. Jake Paul celebrates after his win against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Picture: AP Photo Paul was too big and too strong for the former middleweight world champion Chavez Jr, winning a lacklustre unanimous decision with scores of 99-91, 97-93 and 98-92. He then used his post-fight speech to line-up his next opponent. 'I want tougher fighters. I want to be world champion,' Paul said afterwards. 'Zurdo looked slow and shit tonight. 'That'd be easy work. 'Badou Jack, Anthony Joshua, Gervonta (Davis). Tommy (Fury) stop running. 'I'm just getting warmed up in this shit. I'm ready. I'll stay active and fight everybody. There's a long line. I've got time, I'll take on anyone, any time, any place.' Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. during their cruiserweight bout. Picture: AFP Ramirez defended his WBO and WBA cruiserweight titles in an ugly unanimous decision win over Yuniel Dorticos on Paul's undercard, and immediately called for a fight with Opetaia. 'That's the fight I want. I'm the king,' he said of Opetaia. 'Make sure you get my phone number and call me. 'No one calls me. I want it.' Opetaia was scheduled to be in the arena to confront Zurdo, but the face-to-face meeting didn't eventuate. Paul has called out Joshua several times in the past, and was in line for an exhibition bout with Gervonta 'Tank' Davis before the American's shock draw with Lamont Roach in March.

Picture: AP Photo Meanwhile, Fury – younger brother of Tyson Fury and former Love Island star – is the only man to beat Paul, scoring a split decision win in 2023 that 'The Problem Child' wants to avenge. In the main event, Chavez Jr – the son of Mexican all-time great Julio Cesar Chavez – barely threw any punches in a frustrating opening three rounds. The bout finally came to life in round nine when Chavez Jr threw caution into the wing and began attacking properly. Paul was caught on the chin and held on in the final round, but Chavez Jr ran out of time. Known as the Problem Child, Paul was nearly drowned out in boos as he spoke in the ring afterwards. 'All the boos are awards and actions speak louder than words,' he said. 'I'm him. I just beat your boy's ass. 'Wait till I get going even more, mother****rs. He's a tough guy, he's never been stopped. 'He's a Mexican warrior. I respect Mexico, but I'm a warrior and I came out on top tonight. 'It was flawless. He just survived, I did great. 10 rounds against a former world champion who's never been stopped. 'He went the distance with Canelo and I embarrassed him.' It was Paul's first fight since his win over Mike Tyson in November, while Chavez Jr – the son of Mexican legend Julio Cesar Chavez – is a former world champion.
