'DORF: 'Something bugging him, but Shared Belief walked sound this morning'

I wonder if Cal Chrome's connections (excluding Art) wished they stayed back home now that the "other" horse got hurt...no do-overs

They did make 2 mil for running second.

Yeah, they must really be kicking themselves hard for failing to have the foresight that a horse they knew is faster than theirs would get injured and pulled up shortly after the gates opened.

"Shared Belief sustained a non-displaced fracture on the point of his right hip, his connections said Monday, and while the injury is not career-threatening, it’s uncertain whether he can make it back to the races this year."

And to think some were questioning Mike Smith for pulling him up

i don't have statistics, but i feel like a lot of heavily favored well meant horses who have tried the classic for the big/easy money......have come out with injuries, or extended time off after the race...

not saying, just saying

[Alabama Stakes]

Big mistake running there. As soon as they said they were going there, heads were being scratched everywhere. Couldn't someone have Tapit on their shoulder and said " bad idear"?

While I thought the decision to run there was a poor one, I don't see how that mattered in what happened. He injured himself leaving the gate.

That's just bad racing luck.

He could have run at Oaklawn and had some horse clip his heels, causing him to go down, for all you know.
