He was ridden to victory by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, who earned a record third consecutive Big ‘Cap victory.
“It’s like he shows up every single time — he always runs big, is always tough and just has a lot of grit, a lot of heart,” co-owner Rome said. “He never disappoints.”
The victory, worth $600,000, increased Shared Belief’s career earnings to $2,932,200.
