"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."

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 -bt-

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.

and the other horse injured at CT had run there over 2 dozen times beforehand with no worries.
hell, horses get hurt in their stall.

Jocks and especially those as experienced as Mike Smith should never be questioned about pulling up horses.
If you got in your car this morning and it was sputtering would you know it? Now just imagine driving the neighbor's sputtering Ferrari.... Job well done Mr. Smith despite what the degenerate gamblers might be saying! And to the bridge jumpers that got caught, hopefully it was a soft landing.
