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.

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.

Mr. Campbell,

Thank you for sharing your horse and your stories with all of us. I live about an hour from Aiken and I must tell you it has been so much fun to root for a "local" horse". Best wishes and much luck at Santa Anita, I'll be rooting for him from in front of the TV in SC.

Thanks again Mr. Campbell for another wonderful article! This one being about Palace Malice though has to be your best ;) He has such a wonderful stride and seems like he truly loves his job, a testament to your management and Pletcher's training. It is amazing how a 1200-pound animal can reside in a 12'x12' stall with the weight of everyone's expectations bearing down, step on to the track and lay it all down while expecting nothing in return besides some good loving and a peppermint. Your love for this horse is reflected in his attitude every time he steps on the track. He tears it up for the sheer thrill of hearing himself run. I have a feeling he's only going to get better with time and each passing race.

Best of luck to you and your warrior on your continued journey!!! Time to create a little Malice at Santa Anita!!!

Thanks, Mr. Campbell, for this great article about Palace Malice. I have been on the PM bandwagon all year - first because I am a big fan of Dogwood (and I try to never miss the Aiken Trials even tho I live in Phoenix) and then because he is an incredibly talented horse! I am so glad you will keep him in training next year. I think he will be even better. I will be at Santa Anita cheering him on.

Mr. Campbell - thanks for sharing with us about your amazing Palace Malice. I'm so psyched to see him run in the BC. My money will all be on him to WIN!!! Have a wonderful time there. And thank you for running him again next year. He will be a monster for sure!!

Mr. Campbell

Thank you for this article. I enjoyed it very much. Actually, before the Jim Dandy, I was lucky enough to see this colt in his stall. I agree about his personality traits completely. I have been afflicted with Palace Malicitis since February of 2013, the Risen Star Stakes, where I realized how special of a colt he is. He was all over the track, lugging his head, drifting, but still came 3rd. It almost astonishes me to see how this horse has developed throughout his career- and I must say- the colt who came 3rd in the Risen Star is not the same colt that won the Belmont, Jim Dandy, was the best in the Travers, and ran decent in the Gold Cup. I wish you the best of luck with this colt, in the Breeder's Cup, and I really hope you decide to bring him back next year.

Have a good day

-Eddie

Mr. Campbell,

Thank you for the observations on your wonderful son of Curlin! I have been afflicted with Palace Malicitis since the beginning of his career, and hope to visit him in Aiken after the Breeders'Cup.

Loved this horse since his first start at Belmont in that quick time coming second. Also love the way he grinds out races. He definitely has his Sires durability and traits in races, which I think is super cool.

Cot Campbell,

Thanks for your wonderful horse. I've loved him since his Bluegrass, thought he could have been a Derby winner, and was glad I finally won money on him -- a lot -- in the Belmont.

Please let us know how he looks and what the signs are for the BC Classic. I'd love to have a reason to bet him again.
