Shared Belief Continues Classic Prep

Champion Shared Belief (Candy Ride {Arg}) breezed a best-of-19 five panels in 1:00.60 over the Golden Gate synthetic yesterday in preparation for his next start in the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic Nov. 1 at Santa Anita. Hall of Fame jockey Russell Baze was aboard for the work. 

“It was a really good work and a very good time, especially for this racetrack,” said trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. “Baze told me he thought he went excellent. He was very happy with the way he worked.” 

Last seen scoring a gritty victory against older foes in the GI Awesome Again S. Sept. 27, the dark bay is scheduled to two more times before the Classic with the next breeze set for Tuesday, Oct. 21 at Golden Gate. 

“He’ll either go three-quarters or seven-eighths, most likely three-quarters,” Hollendorfer said.
