Shared Belief continues workouts for season debut

Berkeley, CA (SportsNetwork.com) – Eclipse Award finalist Shared Belief continued to workout Tuesday morning for his eventual debut as a 4-year-old.

Trained and co-owned by Jerry Hollendorfer, Shared Belief had a five-furlong workout Tuesday over Golden Gate Fields’ synthetic main track. The gelding was timed in 1:00.80 for the five furlongs.

Shared Belief, the 2013 champion 2-year-old, is a finalist for the Eclipse Award as 2014 champion 3-year-old along with Bayern and California Chrome. He is a probable starter in the $500,000 San Antonio Stakes at Santa Anita on Feb. 7.

The gelding has won eight of nine career starts for $2,032,200. He closed his 2014 campaign with a hard fought victory in Santa Anita’s Malibu Stakes on Dec. 26.

Shared Belief finished fourth in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita on Nov. 1 behind Bayern. He posted wins in 2014 in the Los Alamitos Derby, Pacific Classic and Awesome Again Stakes. A foot injury prevented the gelding from competing in the Triple Crown races. Shared Belief began 2014 with an allowance victory at Golden Gate Fields on May 26.
