Shared Belief
I was a little surprised he didn't have his own thread, yet.
I did a blog post on him today, covering him, his brilliant Hollywood Futurity win, and the speed figure questions surrounding the race. http://www.horseracingnation.com/blo...red_Belief_123 Considering the realities of modern two-year-old racing (very lightly raced, prone to setbacks, etc) I think this years crop has an unexpectedly high number of top quality prospects going into the New Year. |
He is a synthetic specialist, get that through your head.

I am not sure on what makes you an expert on what 2yr old is a synthetic specialist....but that 2 yr old ran his lights out....until proven otherwise, I will be rooting for him to be the next great one..... |

Perfect horse to try to beat next time out. If he romps, just sit back and enjoy the show.
|
Afternoon Deelites is a poor comparison.

personally, i'm hoping his form translates to dirt and/or turf. |
I suppose most did not see my comments in the Cashcall thread, my response in this one was completely tongue and cheek.

Someone there said this horse should not even be considered a Derby contender at this point since he has not run on dirt, I thought that to be a bit ridiculous.

it's the best part of the derby, the months leading up and watching the youngsters shake things out. |

Certainly does not have the running style of a synthetic specialist. In fact, usually horses that have his running style on synthetics move up on dirt.

As for Shared Belief, he deserves his own blog according to the criteria the last few years. I love his action and feel it will translate well to dirt. |
true.
what i don't like about their plans with shared belief is only two starts before the derby. it's too bad that this has become the rule, not the exception. |

Here is the champ last week at GGF.
He's not the one in blue. Thanks to Janet Hollendorfer for the gracious access. Attachment 2370 |
