Get your lips off of Baffert's rear and reread Freddy's post. Freddy isn't complaining, it is an observation just like Pletcher on the east coast and his good horses. It would be nice to see the wealth spread around instead of a few trainers that's all the post means. No one at fault, it's the business. If I spent millions on horses, I would want the best trainers also, but, there are other trainers that could do great also if given the same stock.

Bayern should be in this race too

last year Baffert won this with a 20-1 longshot, who was he?

Shared Belief is a step below California Chrome and Bayern in my opinion... good solid horse but Chrome woulda dusted him during the spring...

Todays race was weird with such a slow pace, 45 and change is unheard of in a race of that caliber at SA. Made it a closer finish but in the end the best horse won. |
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. |

Per Hollendorfer, "I wish I could train him at Santa Anita." "We have a full barn here. But he doesn’t get along with this track like he does Golden Gate, so we’re trying to do what’s best for him."
Why is GG best for SB? Why not keep him at SA and have him become more familiar with the surface? |
