Family: wife, Zillah; stepdaughter, Chanel ... Been called by his middle name since his youth to differentiate him from his father, also John Paul.
Enjoyed a tremendous ride this past spring when his I'll Have Another shocked the American racing scene by capturing the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes in two stunning come-from-behind victories. As so often happens, despair dogged the owner and the horse when tendinitis developed in one leg and the colt had to be withdrawn from the Belmont Stakes, thus ending his quest for racing's Triple Crown. Later, I'll Have Another was sold by Reddam to Japanese interests for stud duty for $10 million.
Though he had only one runner in the 2011 Breeders' Cup World Championships, he appears to be better-stocked this year, with such top runners as Handsome Mike, winner of the Pennsylvania Derby (G2); Know More, winner of Del Mar's Best Pal Stakes (G2), and Quiet Oasis, winner of Hollywood Park's Royal Heroine Mile (G2).
In advance of the 2011 Breeders' Cup World Championships, Reddam acquired 2-year-old filly Self Preservation via private sale after a win in a maiden race at Tipperary, Ireland, on June 23, 2011 and brought her to the United States in late August for a runner-up finish in the Sept. 3 Del Mar Debutante. The filly, trained by Ben Cecil, followed that with a fifth-place finish in Oak Leaf Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 2 and a fourth in the Juvenile Fillies.
Among his 16 Breeders' Cup runners in 23 starts, Reddam has sent two to the winner's circle: Wilko in the 2004 Juvenile and Red Rocks (Ire) in the 2006 Turf. Red Rocks returned to the Breeders' Cup Turf in 2007, ’08 and ’09, finishing third, 10th and fifth, respectively in his other three efforts.
Wilko and Red Rocks are prime examples of the success that Reddam has had purchasing horses in Europe and then bringing them to the United States for the Breeders' Cup ... In 2004, he bought 75 percent of Wilko, an Awesome Again colt, in England shortly before he scored in the Juvenile at Lone Star Park for trainer Jeremy Noseda ... In 2006, Irish-bred Red Rocks registered a 10-1 upset in that year's 2006 Turf for trainer Brian Meehan. In 2008, Red Rocks, then trained by Mark Hennig, earned a spot in that year's Turf by scoring an authoritative win over two-time Horse of the Year Curlin in Belmont Park's the Man O' War Stakes (G1) … Also in 2008, Square Eddie, who ran early in England, came to the United States to win Keeneland's Breeders Futurity (G1) and finish second to Midshipman in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. In 2009, finished 10th in the Turf Sprint. He was trained by Doug O'Neill both years.
Other Breeders' Cup success has come with Ashland Stakes (G1) and Hollywood Starlet (G1) winner Elloluv, runner-up in the 2003 Breeders' Cup Distaff (now Ladies' Classic) and Great Hunter, third in the 2006 Breeders' Cup Juvenile ... Overall, his Breeders' Cup starters, individually and in partnerships, have brought in purse earnings of $3,790,000.
Began pinhooking yearings in 2011 with them going to Ciaran Dunne's Wavertree Stables to be sold as 2-year-olds. Of 10 he purchased, he has sold five, one is Grade 2 winner Know More, and another is highly regarded maiden winner We'll Have Another.
Other G1 winners are Sharp Lisa, Cash Included, Swept Overboard and Pt's Grey Eagle … Swept Overboard, who won the 2002 Metropolitan Handicap (G1) and the 2001 Ancient Title Handicap (G1), was a $700,000 dispersal buy from the late Marshall Naify’s 505 Farms in 2000. Swept Overboard was a close fourth in the 2001 Breeders’ Cup Sprint, beaten about a length for the big prize … Reddam's G1-winning juvenile Crowded House, trained in England by Brian Meehan, started 2009 as the winter book favorite for the Epsom Derby before he suffered a respiratory infection and was sidelined. ... Other notable stakes winners include Spring At Last, winner of the Godolphin Mile (G2), Andujar, Momentum, Zillah the Hun, Notional, winner of the 2008 Salvator Mile (G3) at Monmouth Park, and Mistical Plan, winner of the 2008 Princess Rooney (G1) at Calder.
Has about 40 Thoroughbreds in training, 20 with Doug O'Neill, 9 with Ben Cecil, two with Simon Callaghan, five homebreds with Ed Freeman (who also breaks and starts his young horses and rehabs his layups), and a few on the East Coast with Mark Hennig and a few more in England with Brian Meehan. Uses Dennis O'Neill and Jamie McCalmont as bloodstock agents, with McCalmont also his racing manager.
Has pensioned his stallion Momentum, but stands Square Eddie at Vessels, where the colt has bred 40 mares three years in a row. Plans to buy mares in foal to I'll Have Another to foal at Vessels and have California-bred I'll Have Anothers to race.
Owns 20 broodmares at Vessels Stallion Farm in Southern California and Kingswood in Kentucky. Also owns Standardbreds that he races at Windsor Raceway in Canada and Cal Expo in Sacramento.
In 1995, founded Ditech.com, a mortgage loan company that was the first to use television and billboard advertising for current rates. Sold the company to General Motors in 1999. Serves as president of CashCall, a finance lending company in Fountain Valley, Calif.
Earned bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Windsor, master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Toronto, and Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Southern California. Former philosophy professor at California State University, Los Angeles.
Introduced to racing during high school by a friend, Carlo Fisco, who worked as a Standardbred groom at Windsor Raceway. During the 1980s, put together harness syndicates while at Cal State L.A. and retains a strong interest in that sport. Claimed first Thoroughbred, Ocean Warrior, in 1988.
