Description:
Best Pal never stormed home to win a Triple Crown race or the Breeders’ Cup Classic, yet the hard-knocking bay gelding won the hearts of thousands of racing fans nationwide, and particularly in his native Southern California.
He was a throwback. The classy California-bred started 47 times, won 17 graded stakes on both dirt and turf, and earned in excess of $5.6 million from age 2 to 7.
