ONE of the 190 blacktype winners sired by champion Giant’s Causeway, Palavicini won the Group 3 Strensall Stakes at York as a three-year-old, but most of his best performances were at Newmarket, where he scored in the Listed Fairway Stakes and was twice placed in group races there.

He won three times at two and three years of age, from a mile to 10 furlongs, finishing out of the first four only three times in 14 starts.
