Santa Anita: Shared Belief may work Sunday

Shared Belief, a finalist for the Eclipse Award as the nation’s outstanding 2-year-old of 2013, is tentatively scheduled to have a workout Sunday after missing a workout Jan. 12 because of a grabbed quarter.

Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said Shared Belief could start in the $200,000 Robert Lewis Stakes on Feb. 8.

“I’m not under any pressure to work him,” Hollendorfer said. “I want to wait until the proper time. I might work him on Sunday.”

Hollendorfer described Shared Belief’s foot as “much improved. You just have to be careful. If we work him and it splits open, it will set us back.”

Owned by a partnership, Shared Belief is unbeaten in three starts. He won the $750,000 CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park on Dec. 14.

Blueskiesnrainbows, winner of the San Pasqual Stakes on Jan. 11 for Hollendorfer, will be pointed to the $300,000 San Antonio Stakes on Feb 8. Hollendorfer said that the main goal for Blueskiesnrainbows in coming months is the $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap on March 8.
