Kaleem Shah’s Klimt used a victory in the Best Pal Stakes as a springboard to another in the Del Mar Futurity and honors as 2-year-old of the meeting in 2016.
Now the founder and president of CalNet technology company, who maintains residences in San Diego and Vienna, Virginia, is seeking to repeat the initial step when he sends out Run Away in Saturday’s 47th running of the Grade II $200,000 Best Pal.
Klimt was trained by Bob Baffert, with whom Shah parted company at the beginning of the year. Run Away is trained by Simon Callaghan.
