Shared Belief has a steadfast legion of fans, but realistically, was anyone particularly taken by today's performance? He had a very nice trip and ground out a workmanlike win over a 72-1 shot that just won a N1X on the turf. The 3rd place finisher set a moderate pace and looked like he was done at the 1/4 pole.
I think Shared Belief is a really nice horse. I also think he's better on synthetics than dirt and that could be problematic in 2015. We can all remain hopeful that he will square off with Bayern and California Chrome a few time in the coming months.
