Hugo Palmer trains the horse from his yard in Malpas, Cheshire, and the operation is in fine form right now — 66 winners already sent out this season, which is the kind of number that tells you this is not a small outfit having a quiet year. Palmer has a reputation for knowing how to place a young horse well, and when a stable is firing at that rate, debutants tend to arrive fit, forward, and ready to show something.
There is nothing more to go on than this for Born With Grace — no previous races, no times, no finishing positions. But that is part of what makes a debut fascinating. Everything is still possible.
