PALACE MUSIC PASSES ON
On Friday 4th January 2008 we had the sad task of euthanasing International Champion Sire PALACE MUSIC (USA) at the grand age of 27.
A son of English Derby winner The Minstrel and the Prince John mare Come My Prince PALACE MUSIC raced in France , England and the US , winning the Group 1 Champion Stakes in England in 1984 and the John Henry Hcp as well as stakes races in France .
PALACE MUSIC commenced his stud career in Kentucky and also stood in Japan , New Zealand and Australia , sired 33 Stakes winners, including World Champions CIGAR and NATURALISM, and became Champion Sire in North America in 1996 due largely to the deeds of CIGAR’s 19 race wins and just under US$10m stakes. NATURALISM emulated the deeds of his sire in winning the 1992 Group 1 AJC Derby .
He stood at Rangal Park Stud from 1998 until his retirement in 2005 and went on to prove himself an outstanding Broodmare Sire, becoming Champion Victorian Broodmare Sire in 2002-2003 and again in 2005-2006.
PALACE MUSIC was buried at Rangal Park Stud.
DANERICH As one career came to an end, DANERICH had a great start to his, covering 122 mares in the 2007 season with an excellent fertility rate. Watch this space next spring for details of his first foals. KELTRICE KELTRICE was awarded Breednet Sire of the Week at the end of December 2007 after siring six individual winners in the week ending 26 th December. KELTRICE is a consistent sire of winners with the very smart mare STORM SIGNAL leading the way this season. In recent years he has settled into a pattern of serving around 50 mares each spring mainly for owner/breeders. Being free of Northern Dancer, Sir Tristram, Mr Prospector and Star Kingdom , he is well suited to a wide range of Australian bred mares and is proving his credentials as a broodmare sire with the likes of PUBLISHING recently winning the Group 3 Standish Hcp.
NE COUPEZ PAS NE COUPEZ PAS (USA)’s runners have been firing with French Trap winning at Strathalbyn, Je Ne Sais Pas (Moonee Valley), Jade The Lady and Primato (Kyneton), Jenolan (Seymour) and Oompa (4 wins).

2007 Former Melbourne Cup heroine Sheila Laxon and her partner, John Symons, can't wait to get to Flemington on Saturday. The pair, among the first in Victoria to take out a training partnership 14 months ago, are hopeful of winning the $1.5m. AAMI Victoria Derby (2500m.) with improving son of Ne Coupez Pas, Down Under Boy. Although successful in their own right - Laxon primarily through Ethereal and Symons best known through the deeds of Bel Esprit - this will be first AAMI Victoria Derby starter for either trainer. Amazingly, Laxon has not saddled-up a Group 1 runner since Ethereal powered down the Flemington straight to win the 2001 Melbourne Cup. "Once you've had a thrill like winning the Melbourne Cup you want to get back to that level again. You can't wait to have another taste of it," Laxon said. Life has certainly presented its challenges to Laxon since she became a darling of the turf when Ethereal completed the Caulfield/Melbourne Cup double. The first of those came just 10 months after that magic Tuesday at Flemington when Laxon suffered a major injury when thrown from a horse at Mt Macedon. She broke her back, cracked five ribs, punctured a lung and her pelvic bone popped out of its socket. "It was a long road back from that. It took a long, long time to get better. I can remember it all too vividly,'' the former New Zealand trainer said. Symons seems just as excited as Laxon to be heading to Flemington with a Group 1 contender on Saturday, particularly for an elite staying race like the AAMI Victoria Derby. "It's great Sheila's got a runner in a major staying event," Symons said. "She puts a lot of time into him. They (horses) are her passion." Down Under Boy is certainly not just making up the numbers. His past two runs have been those of a horse looking for a genuine staying trip at Flemington. Two starts back he was beaten in a photo-finish in the Group 2 Norman Robinson Stakes by Pillar Of Hercules. The then AAMI Victoria Derby favourite, Villain, was centimetres behind him in third place. Down Under Boy backed-up in last Saturday's Group 2 AAMI Vase where he again impressed with a strong fourth to Marching. "It was a good run," Symons said. "Blake (Shinn) rode a great race on him, but he just got held up and shuffled back a little in the field around the 800m. He ran home well after that and pulled a fair bit of ground from them." Symons described Down Under Boy as a "tough little horse" and there was a good reason for backing-up so quickly at Moonee Valley. "I've been playing catch-up with him a little because he missed a run at Moonee Valley early in the spring due to the racing we missed because of equine influenza," he said. Down Under Boy has had 13 starts for one win, four seconds and a third, but Symons said that record should read better. "He hasn't been the luckiest horse," he said. "It goes back to when he was a two-year-old and first past the post in the Group 3 South Australian Sires' Produce Stakes, but they (controversially) relegated him to second," he said. "Then when he came back this preparation he didn't have a lot of luck in his early races,'' Symons said. Symons fondly remembers the early part of this decade thanks to the success he enjoyed as trainer of the star sprinter Bel Esprit. That's when Symons was private trainer for Kurt Stern at Macedon Lodge in Woodend. Over the past couple of years Symons and Laxon have taken a step back and taken time to develop their new training complex at Seymour. It features a 2300m track, which contains a figure eight track inside of it. "We've also got an 800m uphill run and another straight 600m run from barriers," Symons said. Down Under Boy is raced by a group of owners headed by his breeder Eric Buttler, the owner of Rangal Park Stud in Euroa where Ne Coupez Pas, the sire of Down Under Buy, stands. Ne Coupez Pas has proven successful with limited opportunities from two small crops to race so far. He topped both the Victorian first and second season sires' list with a crop that are now four-year-olds. Down Under Boy is out of the winning Western Symphony mare Up Over Girl who is a half-sister to the Group winner Northeast Shelia and Stakes winners Dashing Granada and Kablammo. Symons insists Down Under Boy is heading into the AAMI Victoria Derby with a genuine winning chance. "If we sit back and he gets a reasonable run, I think he will be finishing well," he said. "Just the way he races suggests to me he will run the trip right out. He's a nice horse with a nice owner .... gee, it would be nice to win a Derby.'' SEP
