What the Nation is saying about Palace Malice...

How does Dreaming of Julia stack up in the very tough three year-old filly division? Her performance in the Mother Goose should let us know.Read More

  • tmallios1 · no disrespect meant,you cannot seriously consider this saturdays mother goose a valid race.there are only 5 ,let me correct myself,2 fillies that can be considered good.that is DOJ and close hatches.hatches in her last 2 races has shown she may not be as good as advertised.basically julia is in a 1 1/2 horse field.regarding your comments on the oaks.she was not broadsided.she took up a little.you want to see a horse who got wiped out.look at the princess,she almost got snapped in half.she was behind DOJ down the backstretch.she blew by her and destroyed the field.julia was a normal horse.she was not near the pace because it was not the 4 horse field she was used to running in.this is a public workout.i am just waiting for her to win by 10.then the first post to come in.todd you must pass up the alabama to run her in the travers.her test in her division will come in the alabama,when all of the top fillies run.not this immitation walkover with a G1 listing and a cast of counterfits. · 4 seconds ago ·

Hey y'all. I just wanted to share my thoughts on this horse, and ask for y'all opinion. I found his run very intriguing. First off. His first race off a long layoff, he finished 2nd to Majestic Hussar (who just came in 4th in the FOY, setting a blistering pace), well clear of third place finisher. His fourth place finish only compliments Palace Malice, b/c Hussar ran a credible race. This was Palace Malice's first graded stakes try. He came in third, only beaten by about a length (I think). The whole stretch he lugged his head, not too badly, but a little. He got bumped, he drifted. His stretch run was the classic "inexperienced talented horse" much like Goldencents. This isn't a shocker, considering this was only his fourth career start. He showed ability to drop a little further back, rather than 1-2 lengths off the lead. I love his inexperienced, yet long stride. This baby looks like as he matures he might get real good. He only has one more prep to mature until the KY Derby, but still, even if he can't mature in time, he really is a good looking horse for the future. Trust me on this one, there is fire hidden in his young, small body, and there is a great kick hidden in his long stride. It might take him a while to finish the puzzle, and he is still putting pieces together, but when he does, WATCH OUT!

  • rafirox · I remember watching his maiden on 8/4/12 (Whitney Handicap day). I noticed his stride, immediately jotted his name down. Interesting how he was so hyped as a two year old and progressed to win the 12f Belmont- much like Union Rags. You'd think all the hyped two year old wouldn't stick for 12f. · 5 hours ago ·

In defeating the Preakness winner Oxbow and the Derby winner Orb Palace Malace thrust himself into a leading role in America's glamour division. The decisive win leaves the three year old male division perhaps even more muddied than it was before the Kentucky Derby. Read More

If a horse other than one of the Classic winners is champion 3 year old they will need to win the Travers or beat older horses in the Breeders Cup Classic. · 5 days ago ·

Congrats to Palace Malice for putting it all together in the Belmont. Reminds me of Union Rags last year (only similarity being they redeemed themselves after the Derby). Although I do think him skipping the Preakness gave him an edge of Oxbox and Orb.
The 2013 Belmont Super Screener crushed the race with a pick of 12-1 longshot Palace Malice to win! The Super Screener also identified the 1-2-3 finishers in its top five selections, and nailed 8 winning Trifectas!!!!Read More

  • invasor · Winning $1 Trifecta tickets they proposed in the book ranged from $32 to the highest at $120 as they show above. LIke to build my own tickets anyway so for me the value was more in the analysis than in the suggested wagering recommendations. Not sure I would have been as convicted about Palace Malice on top before reading the analysis. · 9 days ago ·

Every 3yr. beat this horse, 12 to ORD and GOLDEN SOUL in the derby, 7th to REVOLUTIONARY in the Louisiana Derby,3rd to I'VE STRUCK A NERVE, and 2nd in the Bluegrass. There was 5 differance jockeys even the female leading rider couldn't do it, but once the B-L-I-N-K-E-R came off he saw who he was running against he BEAT them all. The real test is comming up in the Jim Dandy against the likes of NORMANDY

Both Dogwood Stable’s Palace Malice and trainer Todd Pletcher were feeling good Sunday morning following the colt’s 3 ¼-length victory over Preakness winner Oxbow and Kentucky Derby winner Orb in the Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park.Read More
Okay, okay. I know there are a lot of "Congrats, rafi!".. But, I think we should give this talented colt some much needed props. Perhaps my fault, there has been too much crap surrounding him and his ability. However, I think we should give him his props. He just won the Belmont Stakes, for crying out loud! He's sparkled since the beginning for me. He was my Derby colt (however, I did have my share on Orb) and I was disappointed with his finish. This race was kind of redemption for me. But, it was truly redemption for Palace Malice. He's never gotten a chance to really strut his stuff. He's had troubled trips, he's been immature, he's been unlucky, and he was forced to wear shaders in the KY Derby which caused him nothing but trouble. This was redemption for him. He's sparkled to me with his losses, but now I think he really is starting to sparkle the public with his win in the Belmont. So, instead of saying "Congrats, Rafi!" (still do, I love hearing I was right :P), I invite all to write: "Congrats Palace Malice"... He really proved y'all wrong today. He did it and he ran the race many knew he was capable of running.

  • kgroff2 · This will go long way toward proving Curlin's value as a Sire. Up till today he had 2 un-graded stakes winners in fillies Countess Curlin and Stopshoppingdebbie and a few graded stakes placed fillies. A Belmont win proves he can produce black-type winners and when paired with right Dam can produce colts that mature fast enough to contend in the triple crown. Belmont also proves the stamina side of things, and I love that Palace Malace wasn't phased by the heavy racing he's gotten in last couple months. I think most of Curlin's "kids" are still going to do most of their winning later in 3yo season or in 4yo season since there are quite a few that took after their Sire and didn't race at 2. Anyway, I'm really happy for Curlin, I've been following all his kids since they started training and racing last year, and it's so wonderful to see a son of his win such a big race. · 11 days ago ·
