‘TDN Rising Star’ Muth Back On Track With Score In Shared Belief Stakes At Del Mar

[Wandering Eyes]

Not seen since he successfully invaded the GI Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn back in the spring, 'TDN Rising Star' Muth (Good Magic–Hoppa, by Uncle Mo) returned to the races and zoomed home to win the Shared Belief Stakes at the seaside oval on Sunday afternoon.

The 3-year-old for Zedan Racing was forced to scratch before the GI Preakness Stakes because of a fever. Targeting the Del Mar meet, trainer Bob Baffert entered him in this spot and clearly the public believed he was ready since he went off as a heavy favorite.

Following the lead of longshot Pony Express (Gun Runner) into the first turn, Muth was set up nicely to pounce by the far turn. The colt gunned his engine down the lane and won by 3 1/2 lengths over Indispensable (Constitution).

The final running time was 1:35.64.

Lifetime Record: 7-5-2-0. Sales History: $190,000 '22 KEESEP, $2 million '23 OBSMAR.

MUTH is back! #3 MUTH ($2.40) was challenged coming to the stretch but was way too much for the field to win the $125,000 Shared Belief Stakes at Del Mar. The 3yo son of Good Magic has now won 5 of his 7 career races. @JJHernandezS19 was in the irons for Bob Baffert. pic.twitter.com/X1YRugAWlp
