Palace Malice is best known for winning this year’s Belmont Stakes race.

Only two Belmont Stakes winners have ever gone on to win the Breeders Cup Classic: Horse of the Year A.P. Indy in 1992 and Drosselmeyer in 2011. 

The Todd Pletcher-trained horse will be ridden by John Velazquez.   Amazingly, the Hall of Fame jockey has never won the Breeders' Cup Classic.

“There are a lot of similarities between his campaign and Princess of Sylmar’s,” Pletcher said of Palace Malice. “They’ve been going at it all year in all the big dances,” said Pletcher, who is set to saddle Princess of Sylmar for a start in Friday’s Distaff. “He’s been able to win a couple of them. He was unlucky in the Travers not to win that. I thought he ran really well in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Ron the Greek was just too good that day.

“He ran really well in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Ron the Greek ran a huge race that day. (Palace Malice) showed he fits with the older horses in that race. It’s going to take one of those races (like Ron the Greek’s Jockey Club Gold Cup victory) to win the Classic.”

Pletcher said he was confident that his 3-year-old is up to the challenge of the Classic.

“From a tactical standpoint, he has the ability to stalk a fast pace and still deliver a strong finish,” he said. “You know the mile and a quarter isn’t going to be a problem. You just hope for the right set-up and he likes the track and runs a big race on Saturday.”
