CHAMPION two-year-old Shared Belief kept his perfect record in six starts with another smashing victory at Del Mar last Sunday in the $1 million Grade 1 TVG Pacific Classic, sweeping past pacesetter Game On Dude and drawing away.

Mike Smith, the longtime rider of Game On Dude, made the right decision when he abandoned the eight-time Grade I winner and accepted the mount on three-year-old Shared Belief, who scored by three lengths over British invader Toast Of New York.
