Bet the Palace “Palace” is a 2021 NY-bred dark bay gelding who is versatile and friendly. This sweet boy could go in many directions with an adopter who sees his potential and has the experience to continue his training as he is still a growing youngster. Palace has been training well at all three gaits and has been ridden both English and Western. He's happy in the arena, on trails, has had exposure to attending a show and has even tried a bit of jumping. Palace really enjoys people and is easy to catch, halter and lead and is content to stand patiently in crossties. He is very good for the farrier and many different handlers. Palace enjoys an outdoor life with 24/7 turnout in a six-horse herd. Palace had 13 starts, a race record of 1-1-4, and earnings of $25,720. Palace was retired after his last race on February 6, 2025 at Mahoning Valley Race Course with a stress fracture in his left forelimb which was stabilized with surgery.  Palace completed rehab and is progressing in his training every day. Palace will do best in a program that offers plenty of turnout and conditioning to continue strengthening his stifles. Palace is currently barefoot.

Any medical records and pertinent history are available to interested and approved adopters. CANTER Michigan always recommends a PPE.

While our OTTBs receive some post-race training, all are offered as green prospects and will require an adopter who has experience with retraining off-track Thoroughbreds and/or will be working with an experienced professional trainer.
