I was a huge Shared Belief fan. That was a devastating loss.
However, I suspect AP would have just run him off his feet in most races unless the pace got really hot or the track was tiring. IMO, American Pharoah was just "starting" to get really good when his career ended.
Maybe I'm wrong. I would have loved to have seen them square off. That's for sure.
