FEATURE PRESENTATION • GI BELMONT S. It wasn=t but three months after the sale that Javier Castellano donned Dogwood gold-and-green for his July 5 debut over five furlongs of the Belmont main track. Always held in high regard by the Todd Pletcher stable, Palace Malice was bet down to 2-1 and came running late to be second before graduating as a heavy favorite next time out at Saratoga Aug. 4. He emerged from that effort with bucked shins, so instead of pressing on to the late-season stakes, he was put away for the year and made his 3-year-old bow in a seven- The Highest of Expectations... furlong Gulfstream allowance contested over a sloppy A $25,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase in strip Jan. 19. However, he 2011, Palace Malice was a different sort when he had the misfortune of reappeared in Lexington for the 2012 Keeneland April running into a race-fit Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training. Hip 36 was knocked Majestic Hussar (Majestic down to Campbell, who has made it something of a Warrior) and settled for the habit to sign for horses early in the sales. AHe was runner-up spot. That effort always a nice horse and we earned Palace Malice a were thrilled to get him and chance to prove his mettle honestly we were kind of along the Triple Crown surprised to get him for that trail, and it was the Palace Malice training towards [$25,000] price [as a GII Risen Star S. in New the Belmont Horsephotos yearling],@ stated Niall Orleans that would mark Brennan, whose brother his stakes and two-turn debuts. With Rosie Napravnik Colin signed for Palace at the controls, the athletic bay threatened in the final Cot Campbell thestate.com Malice as a yearling. AHe furlong before finishing a close third with the likes of had a chip in his hind ankle, subsequent Classic place-getters Oxbow (Awesome and maybe that turned some people away, but we Again), Golden Soul (Perfect Soul {Ire}) and Mylute never took it out. He was only a May foal, but he was (Midnight Lute) behind him. The GII Louisiana Derby well grown.@ Brennan explained the rationale for beckoned as a logical next step, but what unfolded was pointing the colt towards the Keeneland sale. AHe was a nightmare, as he made a solid middle move, but was young in his mind and I decided in December that he blocked when the real running started and he could do wasn=t a horse that I wanted to push on to an early no better than seventh to favored Revolutionary (War sale. We wanted to give him a break for a few weeks Pass) as the 7-2 second choice. With a Derby berth and point for the Keeneland sale and that helped hanging in the balance, Palace Malice was sent to the greatly. He always showed a lot of athletic talent. I GI Toyota Blue Grass S. on just two weeks= rest thought that since he was by Curlin out of a Royal Apr. 13, and he looked on his way to victory, only to Anthem mare, the synthetic track should be to his be nailed on the wire. According to Campbell, the colt jumped off leads when he saw tire tracks nearing the liking, and he trained well over the track.@ Brennan also wire that day. Therefore, the decision was made to paid tribute to the Dogwood maestro. AI am so thrilled equip him with a set of blinkers for the Derby. The for Mr. Campbell,@ Brennan offered. AHe is one of the results were disastrous, however, as Palace Malice great inspirations in our sport today. How can you not essentially ran off on the lead with Mike Smith, set a be happy for a guy like that? It=s been a privilege for us suicidal pace and drifted back through the field to finish to be involved.@ 12th.
