“Heartbroken to announce the retirement from racing of our @BreedersCup heroine, Sharing,” Eclipse tweeted . “She was special in every sense of the word.”

In her career, Sharing won five of nine starts, earning $1,092,751 in the process. She lodged her biggest win in the ’19 Breeders’ Cup, a victory she earned after winning Laurel Park’s Selima Stakes weeks earlier to secure a spot.

Sharing’s performance as a juvenile — winning three of four and earning over $700,000 — netted her honors as both Maryland-bred Horse of the Year and Top Midlantic-bred of 2019.

Sharing’s 2020 campaign was not quite as fruitful, though it certainly had its moments. She added two more stakes wins to the ledger, taking the Grade 2 Edgewood Stakes and the ungraded Tepin Stakes, both at Churchill Downs. In between she was a good second in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at England’s Royal Ascot.

Sharing, a daughter of Speightstown out of the Breeders’ Cup-winning Pleasantly Perfect mare Shared Account, was bred in Maryland by Sagamore Farm. Sagamore sold her as a yearling for $350,000 to Eclipse, and she raced during her career for the partnership of Eclipse and Gainesway Stable (Antony Beck). Graham Motion trained her throughout her career.

Sharing broke her maiden at second asking as a two-year-old at Saratoga. It was then, Motion said, that it became clear he had a serious racehorse on his hands.

“I tell everyone I only bring the babies I think have talent and potential to Saratoga,” Motion told The Racing Biz a year ago. “I mean, Saratoga’s where you find out if they’re as good as you think they are, and that was certainly the case with Sharing. When we came home after that meeting, we knew we had a filly who was something special.”
