Del Mar 2024: Muth makes comeback Sunday in Shared Belief
{{monthName}} {{day}}, {{year}} {{hour12}}:{{minuteTwoDigit}}{{dayPeriod}}
Two-time Grade 1 winner Muth was the morning-line favorite
in the Preakness before trainer Bob Baffert scratched him three days beforehand
with a fever. He has not raced since he won the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby five
months ago.
The $2 million Good Magic colt who has earned back $1,504,100 for owner
Amr Zedan is set to make his comeback Sunday as one of the seven 3-year-olds
racing one mile in the listed $125,000 Shared Belief Stakes going a two-turn
mile at Del Mar.

Muth, who will be ridden as always by Juan Hernández, drew
post 3 and is likely to go off as the favorite in a field that includes two
other Baffert-trained colts. Wynstock, a two-time stakes winner at Los
Alamitos, will carry Kyle Frey from post 7. Santa Anita Derby (G1) runner-up
Imagination, who was seventh in both the Preakness and the Woody Stephens (G1),
got post 6 with Kazushi Kimura.
Pony Express, a nine-length maiden winner who finished last
in the Jim Dandy (G2) for trainer John Sadler, races with Antonio Fresu from post
4. His stablemate Indispensable, who needed nine races to break his maiden last
month, goes with Héctor Berrios from post 2. Maiden winner Mc Vay, fourth more
than two months ago in the Affirmed, breaks from the rail with Umberto Rispoli
getting the call from John Shirreffs. De’ Medici, an allowance victor for
Michael McCarthy who is the lone gelding in the race, drew post 5 and will be
ridden by Reylu Gutiérrez.
The Shared Belief is the seventh of 10 races Sunday and is
posted to go after 7:30 p.m. EDT. The first post is at 4:30 p.m.
