I see where LOYAL SHADOW (Pal's half brother) was claimed from Dr. Paul Giacopelli/Gary Sciacca today in the 8th at Belmont. He was a slow starter (didn't break his maiden til something like his 14th race), but has performed admirably as he's gotten older. Let's hope Pal follows the same template! (Although I wouldn't mind if he broke his maiden a little sooner!)
