Based on things I've read and heard, Hoppertunity might be the biggest underlay in the San Antonio tomorrow @santaanitapark

Poll: Who do you want to win the San Antonio? California Chrome, Shared Belief, Hoppertunity, or a longshot?
— Claire Novak (@BH_CNovak) February 5, 2015
@BH_CNovak Want and think Shared Belief. Hopefully starting a year long rivalry.

@BH_CNovak @BloodHorse Longshot!! Chrome owners may be average Joe, but clowns! Shared Belief owner = to Tom Brady, Hoppertunity/Baffert!

@BH_CNovak @BloodHorse Cal Chrome will jog vs this bunch. Shared Belief is finished and Hop isn't as good as Chrome over the SA surface.
