All of us at Dogwood Stable are still in the clouds after Palace Malice's incredible Belmont Stakes win on June 8. More than a week has passed since our colt's victory, and while we continue to bask in the after-glow of his performance, we now look ahead to Saratoga and his next races - the Jim Dandy and Travers.

"Palace Malice has demonstrated extraordinary energy and enthusiasm ever since he came off the race track after winning the Belmont.

"His coat looks good, he's retained his weight and he is flourishing in every way. He will not breeze until around June 29, and then will gradually build up to his next engagement - the $600,000 Jim Dandy at Saratoga on July 27. This Grade 2 stakes race is a mile and an eighth."

Cot was recently interviewed by the Blood-Horse on his thoughts and feelings after the Belmont win. Listen to the podcast here.

"Malice in Wonderland" is Steve Haskin's incredible recap of Palace Malice's journey to the Belmont winner's circle. It's a worthy read!

Cot Doing Blogs For Bloodhorse.com

The charm of horse racing lies primarily in the animals that do it—their beauty, grace, power and their degree of class. But there is an undeniable attraction to the colorful human beings that make it happen. The purpose of this blog is to share my stories about some of these characters. My requisites in the selection: I had dealings with them, their antics and accomplishments that should not be forgotten, and that at least most of them are no longer with us. Now being featured is John M.S. Finney.
