California Chrome training well for BC Classic (The Associated Press)
Alan Sherman couldn’t be happier with California Chrome leading up to the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita. I think he’s coming into the race just as good, if not better, than he was into the Derby and Preakness.” That could spell bad news for California Chrome’s rivals in the 1 1/4-mile Classic on Saturday, the richest race in North America. California Chrome was the darling of the racing world in the spring with his Triple Crown bid. The 3-year-old colt with a humble pedigree and a pair of blue-collar owners was a captivating story as he posted convincing wins in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness.
