Shared Belief is 9-5 favorite for BC Classic (The Associated Press)
Shared Belief was made the early 9-5 favorite on Monday in a field of 14 for the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, a race featuring a strong contingent of seven 3-year-olds taking on older foes. Shared Belief is 7-0 in his career, with all of his races coming in California. Shared Belief’s most recent win was in the Awesome Again at Santa Anita last month for co-owner and sports talk host Jim Rome. ”He’s got speed all around him and we’ll be able to follow them into the first turn,” said Hall of Famer Mike Smith, the winningest jockey in the Breeders’ Cup who will ride Shared Belief.
