Zedan Racing Stables Inc.’s Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Medina Spirit, idle since finishing third in the Preakness (G1), returned to the races on Sunday with a frontrunning victory in the $100,500 Shared Belief Stakes at Del Mar. The 3-year-old Florida-bred colt by Protonico set a pressured pace, opened daylight after straightening away in the stretch and scored by a length and a quarter. He’s a two-time OBS graduate, sold for $1,000 as a yearling by Summerfield (Francis & Barbara Vanlangendonck), Agent, on behalf of breeder Gail Rice at the 2019 Winter Mixed Sale, then purchased for $35,000 by Gary Young on behalf of Zedan Racing Stables out of the Whitman Sales consignment at the 2020 June Sale after breezing three eighths in :33 flat. The Shared Belief is his third stakes win, leaving him with an 8-4-3-1 career record and $2,345,200 in earnings for trainer Bob Baffert. watch his under tack video
