Oh yeah, and about Shared Beliefs win today.

That was a pretty bush league move by Baffert and Espinoza. After that whining by Baffert about how people enter speed against Game on Dude, he basically uses Sky Kingdom today as nothing more than a tool to take Shared Belief out of the race.

Watching that, it would be hard to dispute that him floating out into the first turn was intentional. It looked like Smith and Espinoza might have been jawing at each other during the race after that happened.


Hey Bob, look up the meaning of the word hypocrite.

And no RHT, I don't want to hear your robotic response defending your hero.

I didn't think I'd ever see Baffert resort to such sour grape tactics.

100% agree..Bushleague Bob. To bad SA doesn't have Trakus..Amazing effort. How about 2yo American Pharoah running faster than Beholder albeit easier trip.

Santa Anita does have trakus. Shared Belief ran 66 more feet than Fed Biz.

Congratulations to Beholder as well. Going for a repeat in the BC Distaff. If she wins, she'll join Goldikova as the only 3 time winners but she'll be the only won to do it in 2 different BC races.

I hope Mandella was right that was she was short for that race, I thought she ran ok but really needs to move forward off that effort.

Very impressive win. Still not convinced he'll win the Classic, however.

I never understand a comment like this, not picking on you.....its related to price the way I see it. I am not convinced he is going to win, he probably is something like 30-35 percent so if he is 5/2 I could see betting him but he wont be.

No horse is 100% to win a race.

some interesting comments inside....

"Asked if he thought he was "double-teamed" by the Baffert horses, Hollendorfer responded: "We're all big boys…It's no big deal for me. Mike will have to settle up with Victor.""

I wouldn't say it's related to price but more so popularity. There are some horses who have no or little chance whether they are 50-1 or 1-1. It all comes down to subjectivity.

I saw it more for Espinoza wanting to beat SB for California Chromes changes but I guess the Baffert angle makes more sense.

Should be a good story on what was said after the race, look forward to hearing it.
