Shared Belief and Jerry Hollendorfer at Charles Town

Barbara D. Livingston Shared Belief will spend a few days at Golden Gate Fields, then head to Pegasus Training Center in Washington for the summer.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Shared Belief, who was pulled up in the $1.5 million Charles Town Classic in West Virginia on April 18 and later found with a hip injury, has been returned to trainer Jerry Hollendorfer’s stable at Golden Gate Fields.

Hollendorfer said on Friday that Shared Belief will remain at Golden Gate Fields “for a few days” before being transferred to the Pegasus Training Center in Washington state for a summer of rest. Shared Belief is not expected to race for the rest of the year.

A gelding, Shared Belief was found to have a non-displaced fracture on the point of his right hip in tests conducted at a Mid-Atlantic clinic last weekend.

“I want to get him up there and get him well,” Hollendorfer said.

Shared Belief, the champion 2-year-old male of 2013, lost for the first time this year when he was pulled up in the Charles Town Classic. He won the $590,000 San Antonio Stakes in February and the $1 million Santa Anita Handicap in March.
