Multiple Group 1 winner Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}) will not return to Darley Australia this year, Darley announced via Twitter.
“In the horse's best interest, Palace Pier will not shuttle to Australia for the 2023 Southern Hemisphere season,” the organisation tweeted. “It is expected that he will return for the following season.”
A winner of five Group 1 races, Palace Pier has stood for two seasons in the Northern Hemisphere and his first foals arrived this spring. Based at Dalham Hall Stud in England, his 2023 fee is £50,000. In Australia, he stood at Darley's Kelvinside operation last year.
