Didn't we all NEED that horse to race in 2016 ? There will always be others, but......Empty feeling

Definitely leaves an emptiness as we look towards the coming year. I think all of the older horse stakes will leave us with a "what could have been" had Shared Belief lined up against them all.

I stand firm in believing this horse was a Breeders Cup Classic winner had he not been mugged out of the gate, but that's racing luck and history at this point. He'd have been unbeaten until pulled up in the CTC. Absolute shame to be robbed of this glorious animal when on the cusp of what could have been a season to rival any of the best.

Godspeed to Lady Eli. She's all I'm looking forward to in the older horse ranks so far.
