It's racing the more horses the better for the bettor and racing. Shame is one trainer has so many good horses

Why? And whos fault is it? Certainly not Bafferts, is he supposed to say no thank you? Cant really blame the owners either, if they are going to put all that $$ into the game, why not pick the GOAT?

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.

It was a very good move to win the prestigious Harlans Holiday at the expense of this race with Liam's Map.

Funny..When i was grooming Elusive Quality at Churchill for Mott i begged him to ship him out for the Malibu after he beat older in a nw2ot. Instead we went to Gulfstream and he won another alls going 7/8 in 1:20 4/5. King of the Heap won the Malibu. Who?

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

We will find out, with a fair break of course.

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.

That maybe all correct.........except the moderate pace part, that was dawdling, if Chitu could not win that race with that setup he is never going to against top class horses.

totally agree. Excited to proven right or wrong in future. Either way I cant lose nor can racing. My gut tells me he is ordinary(relatively speaking) on dirt. I would try him on turf in future because he is a gelding and easier money to be made save the Main Sequence races.

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?

Bad feet, he holds together better on the Tapeta.
