Key Race - Palace House Stakes

[jtw1]

Run on Saturday , i have chosen this Group 3 instead of either Guineas as it is more competitive , betting-wise, than either of the Classics and they both have separate threads elsewhere on ATR . The Palace House Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Great Britain which is open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket over a distance of 5 furlongs (1,006 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late April or early May. The event is named after Palace House, a famous building in Newmarket on the site of a royal residence of King Charles II. The race was established in 1961, and the first running was won by Galivanter. At present, the Palace House Stakes is held on the opening day of Newmarket's two-day Guineas Festival meeting, the same day as the 2,000 Guineas Stakes. [TABLE=class: sortable jquery-tablesorter]

104 [/TD] [TD=class: rc_entry_nagme dontDisplay] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] News - BRITAIN'S wettest April on record left its mark even on the historic Newmarket racecourse where the going changed on Tuesday to soft to increase the chance of Saturday's Qipco 2,000 Guineas being run on the slowest surface since 1998. Rainfall totalling four inches fell during last month and a wet start to May has tested the Rowley Mile's renowned free draining qualities to the extent that meteorologist John Kettley ruled out the likelihood of good going because there is more rain to come. Although Wednesday is likely to be dry further showers overnight into Thursday could result in 48-hour declarations for the first Classic of the 2012 Flat season being made with the going officially soft for a race that has been staged on good to firm or good ground in 23 out of the last 24 years. It was good to soft in 1998. "It's been an unusually wet April," said Kettley, who advises Jockey Club Racecourses. "I still think it will be on the soft side of good. There is too much potential for rain. There is potential for rain in showery form and it's difficult to imagine it will dry out an awful lot. It's pretty soft at the moment. "Newmarket does drain really well and you'd anticipate it would still be on the slow side for Saturday. The potential is still for something like 8mm to come."
