    It was an ‘okay’ performance, but nothing to suggest he’s going to be a top NH horse. I don’t think he’s going to be another Alderbrook or Royal Gait…..

    Good move ,although paying 1.4 mill Euros for him just looks expensive.

    Gosden might even target German G1 races with him. I think he has plenty of options, if the horse recaptures some form, let alone improve which still is on the cards, imo.

    1.4 million… and he’s now been gelded.

    Ouch.

    Hurdling should be reconsidered. The form of his Huntingdon win reads quite well with the 2nd and 3rd placed horses BOTH winning their next two outings and the 4th placed horse also winning his only race afterwards.
    Or maybe there is a buyer in HK or AUS, but to get 1.4 million back or let’s say a big part of it seems rather unrealistic in Europe.

    They just need to find a race for him on a Sunday night.

    Hk only have 2 or 3 races over 2400 per year so doubt HK be interested , to OZ for MC or any other of big staying races worth big money they would go close to recovering that price , he be worth a lot there .

    Thats run 1.4 mill down to about a grand i suppose . Two bleeds and ban in OZ , three in HK i think so thats a few markets gone .
    Still young , lightly raced but going to be hard pressed to get much out of this horse now , bled before pressure came on not flash.

    I wish no harm to Palladium himself.
    But if any owners deserve this misfortune then it is the Bamfords.
    – Tax dodgers to the tune of half a billion (allegedly)
    – bankrolled Boris Johnson’s holidays and other expenses
    – named in Jeffrey Epstein’s Black Book, though not specified why
