Del Mar Del Mar Report #6 August 25, 2014 Del Mar Del Mar Report #6 August 25, 2014 By: Aaron Halterman twitterfacebooklinkedinemail Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article Three Stars of the Week – 1st Star: Shared Belief (KY) – He’s the most talented horse in the country now, and has his sights set on California Chrome in an ultimate showdown! Chrome still has a resume edge over Shared Belief, but we believe Shared Belief can beat him in a head to head matchup. Either way, his Pacific Classic win was simply brilliant. The undefeated streak continues! – 2nd Star: Goldencents (KY) – Now that’s the Goldencents we know all to well. He set a new track record for seven furlongs at Del Mar, and looks primed and ready to go back to back in the Breeders Cup Mile. To me the idea is simple: put him on the lead and let him go with wire to wire. He can totally outclass almost any field he faces at that distance. – 3rd Star: Tom’s Tribute (KY) – He loved that Del Mar turf course this meet! Back to back victories in stylish fashion have him leaving Del Mar in top form, and could be setting him up for a run at the Breeders Cup. Keeping jockey Mike Smith on his back is imperative to his chances as the races get tougher. Flop of the Week – Obviously (IRE) – Not his best race on Sunday, and kind of a strange ride to set pretty fast fractions like he did. We’ve seen this before…look for him to rebound with a big performance next time out.
