Having just moved the family up to Princess Park early January, the Palmers are keen to show you what we have been up to.

A wonderful BBQ awaits with plenty of vino from our local Nagambie wineries.

We have been very busy at the sales and we’ll have our yearlings from some very well related families to present to you.

And for the kids we’ll have plenty of supervised activities organised. Jumping castles, pony rides and our friends from Little Footy Tackers will be running a footy clinic.

Northern Meteor smashed the 1200m course record at Royal Randwick, prior to winning the sire making Gr. 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes during the Flemington Spring carnival.

Northern Meteor is one of the hottest up and coming sires in the country, as he’s one of the best sons of Champion sire Encosta De Lago to go to stud, he’s a superb physical specimen and he had sped to burn. Accordingly his progeny were targeted by all of the leading trainers at this year’s yearling sales.

Princess Park resident trainer Pat Cannon has hit the ground running with his first starter for Princess Park coming just one week into his new role as Head Trainer.

Pat took the well-bred Wonderworld to Moonee Valley for her first up run on the 12th of March, in which the mare ran a solid effort finishing a close up 8th for her high profile owner Gerry Harvey.

Wonderworld was sent to Pat Cannon by Gerry Harvey having won one race from thirteen starts with Rosehill trainer David Payne in Sydney.

It’s been just on four years since owners of Lacey Underall had something to cheer about. Lacey had just won the 2008 Adelaide Cup and following this ran a credible 6^th on an unsuitable rain-affected track in the Group 1 Sydney Cup before an injury ended her successful racing career.

On Wednesday at Sandown, owners of Lacey Underall will be happy to cheer home a runner.

Lacey Underall’s first foal, a filly by Fastnet Rock and named Tyanna, makes her debut in a 2-year-old fillies no metro win race.

The filly was sold by owners of Lacey Underall and purchased by Robbie Griffiths at the New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Yearling Sale early in 2011.

Princess Park is thrilled to have secured what we believe was the best filly at the 2012 Melbourne Premier Sale.

Lot 411 from the Grange Thoroughbreds draft was a cracking filly by the highly successful sire Charge Forward. From the Anabaa mare Bergman, who is from the stakes winning Western Symphony mare Midnight Sun. This is one of the best pedigrees in the Australian Stud Book, as Midnight Sun is from the “Blue Hen” mare Song Of Norway.

Song of Norway produced the brilliant Scandinavia, who took out four races including the Gr. 2 Blue Diamond Prelude at two. Scandinavia then went on to run second in the Gr 1. Salinger Stakes, Gr. 1 Goodwood Handicap. She also ran third in the Gr. 1 Newmarket Handicap and the Gr. 1 Lightning Stakes.
