It gets even harder from here on out for California Chrome.He won easily in his home state of California, he dazzled in the Kentucky Derby and he dug deep to win the 139th Preakness on Saturday.
The wiseguys dismissed California Chrome in the Preakness, arguing that he was the luckiest horse on the track Derby Day where his trip was as smooth as expensive whiskey. Story
California Chrome Owner
California Chrome's co-owner Steve Coburn shed tears after his colt crossed the finish line, dabbing them away with a blue-and-white bandanna.
California Chrome 77 year old Trainer
"You have to have a very good horse to win these three races," said Art Sherman, the winning 77-year-old trainer. "I'm hoping I've got one right now."
My Two Cents
California is not normally the major leagues of horse racing but this year IT IS!! California Chrome puts California horse racing on the front front pages. 2nd Most inspirational story (after Devon Walker / New Orleans Saints) with a 77 year old Trainer in Art Sherman winning with nobody horse from Yuba City, CA (nobody can tell me where that is unless you Google it)! California Chrome trains in Los Alamitos (can't tell me where that is unless you look it up). Wonderful Story! Stay Strong California Chrome. Bring the Triple Crown to CA. Toughest and longest race to go!
