World Champion Miler PALACE PIER (GB) shuttled for only one season to Darley Australia, with that resultant crop have just turned 2yo’s and are set to race in Australia this season.
His first crop in Europe are 2yo’s and PALACE PIER is doing an amazing job as he sits in second place on the GB/IRE First Season Sire’s Premiership.
Overnight PALACE PIER sired his Second Stakes Winner and his first Group Winner as his daughter ROYAL FIXATION proved too strong in the Gr2 Lowther Stakes over 6-furlongs on the second day of York’s Ebor meeting.

The 5-2 joint-favourite was settled well off the pace in the 1200m contest under William Buick and had plenty of ground to make up as the race began in earnest.
However once Buick got lower in the saddle, ROYAL FIXATION picked up in style to beat market rival America Queen by a length. Staya also made late gains to be beaten a further two lengths in third.
ROYAL FIXATION powered to the line to win by a length and has the overall record of two wins and a second from three starts.
ROYAL FIXATION had broken her maiden on debut at Thirsk and was then a close runner-up by a neck to Venetian Sun in the Gr2 Duchess Of Cambridge at Newmarket.
Her trainer indicated after the race that the Gr1 Cheveley Park will be her next target where ROYAL FIXATION is a 7-2 chance for the Newmarket Group 1 on September 27.
“We've always thought a lot of ROYAL FIXATION. She ran a huge race at Newmarket and it's been a really long six weeks. You let her down and built her back up and hope you've got it right and haven't left her too fresh. It's been quite a challenge,” said Walker.
“What's exciting is that she still looked a bit green off the bridle.
“She’ll get further, for sure, but she won’t go to the Fillies’ Mile, I think we’ll go to the Cheveley Park.
"She’s quick, she’s got loads of speed, she’s got a very fast female line and I think she’d be too keen over a mile at the moment.”
ROYAL FIXATION was bought for 180,000 guineas at the Tattersalls October Book 1 Yearling Sale.
ROYAL FIXATION is the second Stakes-Winner joining Listed Winner MORRIS DANCER among seven first crop winners of 11 race wins for PALACE PIER, whose fee at Darley in 2025 was £32,000.
