That was a lot of fun... Congratulations to all the partners and everyone involved in Pal's maiden-breaker today. There are the obvious -- Gary Sciacca, Paul Barone, the Barn 60 team, Junior Alvarado, Exercise rider Pierre Tomas -- and there are the less obvious: Woodbury Payne at Ingleside Training Center, his wife Olga and the vet team at Valley Equine in West Virginia who performed deft knee surgery on Pal.
Glad that so many did so well with him today. It's an unusual family. His sister Loyal Shadow took 14 tries to break her maiden before winning another 4 and $170k. Appreciate everyone being patient with Pal. We did right by him with the surgery and time off and he rewarded us today. Shaping up to be a fun summer with him, Toy Cannon and Corybant, as well as Spondulix and tomorrow's debuting One Revolution..
