Good story, but the way I heard it, it was Stella Moore who got the drop on Olympia out of the gate and then Olympia ran her down at the wire to win by a head.

I worked for Buddy 76-77 Mth meet. I won 13 races with 22 2nd in 77. He didn't say a lot to me other than, look him over good, Jas. At the end of the meet, he asked me if I'd share my stakes with the rest of the barn. I reached into my pocket to check the thickness of the wad of betting money and said, how much did they earn? It was something like $220k. I said okay. Best days of my life! I wish I could find his AT, Jimmy Conner.

Enjoyed this so much-Thanks.

Was Lyphards wish the same horse that led the 1979 English derby

until Troy came with that great surge to win?

Even if the story about Ted Atkinson isn't really true, it's a good one.

What a shame that one commenter thought this was an appropriate place to run down Native Dancer. Even if one doesn't agree that he was top five all-time, surely there are better times to argue that subject!

LOL, I wonder what else Sir Hubert and Marjorie did during that very long week! I love the stories in this column.

re: Palace Malicitis

Luv Me Some Malice — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 20:10:09 GMT

I spoke with Jack Sadler, VP of Dogwood Stables, this morning to wish them all the best of luck in Saturday's Gulfstream Handicap Stakes with Palace Malice. I had the great pleasure of watching PM work at home in Aiken, SC this winter and would just like to expound on what a terrific organization they are. Everyone is very friendly, courteous and loved to share him with his fans. As for PM himself, he's a go-getter and a gentleman too. One afternoon in December during his "afternoon grazing time", I was fortunate enough to have him all to myself (well, Jack Sadler & Mr. Stephens were there too). We all enjoyed great conversation, peppermints and carrots! Cot Campbell & his wife, Ann, are truly rare gems. They are very accomodating, ready to make all feel welcome and are so thrilled about all the great things they are experiencing because of and with Palace Malice. I look forward to talking with them all again in about 10 days when Aiken will have a celebration in naming Palace Malice "Aiken's Horse of the Year" for 2013. May he always have wings on his feet, the wind at his back and Hall of Fame hands to guide him!

Loved reading about Palace Malice's pleasing personality. The son of Curlin sounds like a delight to be around. I was wondering if the name has a sports arena relation. Heard the term the other day on ESPN I believe.

Maybe Smith let Rooney breeze Grog, the 'Biscuit's look-alike half-brother? Lauren Lillebrand wrote that Smith would sometimes switch them to mess with the early-morning railbirds in the press.

Fred Hooper was my great-uncle. I had the luck of seeing him for the last time a month before he passed. I currently own 1 mare that he bred that is by Copelan and is almost the spitting image of Susan's Girl, and 2 other mares that are out of different Copelan mares. I love hearing and reading old stories about my g-uncle, so I sincerely appreciate you sharing yours, Mr. Campbell.

Cot, your last paragraph says it all for me: "this equates to priceless anticipation, joy, excitement....ingredients often not easy to come by and, in many cases, experienced by recipients that could use some". I'm one of those recipients whose trying past 6 years has been made easier to endure because of horse racing and horses such as your Palice Malice. He is amazing! I love your blog and entertaining honesty. Thank you!

Mr. Campbell, thank you for a fine article on a very good horse. Summer Squall was one of my favorites and I loved your book about him also. Best of luck in this year's Classic.
