CashCall Futurity winner Shared Belief, a leading contender for the Kentucky Derby on May 3, worked five furlongs on Santa Anita’s main track Friday in 1:00.40 under Corey Nakatani.

“It was a very nice work, and the last part, a very nice turn of foot,” Jerry Hollendorfer said. “I think we’re going to look at that race first,” the Hall of Fame trainer added, referring to the Grade II, $200,000 Robert B. Lewis Stakes at 1 1/16 miles on Feb. 8.

“I don’t think we’re going to run in the next race coming up (for 3-year-olds at Santa Anita, the Grade III, $100,000 Sham Stakes at one mile on Jan. 11).”

Sweet Lulu, winner of the Grade I Test Stakes, worked four furlongs for Hollendorfer in 46.40. She is a candidate for the Grade II Santa Monica Stakes at seven furlongs on Jan. 25.
