THE Group 1 Deutsches Derby at Hamburg in July was won in the last strides by a neck by Palladium, an outsider ridden by Thore Hammer Hansen and trained by Henk Grewe. Ridden over three furlongs out, he crossed to the nearside rail entering the straight, driven and kept on well in the final furlong to beat his rivals on the far rail.

The son of Gleneagles ran just once more, sixth of six in the Group 1 Mehl-Mulhens-Stiftung - 62nd Preis von Europa behind Rebel’s Romance and was later bought for €1,400,000 by Nicky Henderson at the Arqana Arc sale.
