Palace Malice Back on Track After Setback at Aiken
Palace Malice, the Belmont Stakes and Metropolitan Handicap winner, returned to the Aiken Training Track for the first time since January 28. The 5-year-old jogged three-eighths of a mile and galloped seven-eighths under Exercise rider Gene Tucker, with Dogwood Stable president Cot Campbell noting the horse moved freely and appeared 100 percent sound as he prepares for a 2015 campaign. He is scheduled to leave Aiken February 12 for Florida to rejoin trainer Todd Pletcher, with daily gallops planned up to a mile and a half before shipping.
