Palace a Derby possible
Racing Post Trophy winner Palace Episode has been supplemented for the Derby at a cost of £8,000 (€11,500).
The son of Machiavellian was trained by Kevin Ryan as a two-year-old but has since been purchased by the powerful Godolphin operation and it is understood that the colt was added to the field at the second entry stage on Wednesday.
Godolphin also bought the Racing Post Trophy runner-up Winged Cupid, who was another addition to the classic while French colts Linda’s Lad and Visindar, a once-raced Sinndar three-year-old, were also expected to be entered.
