Will California Chrome Be The
Horse To Lift Triple Crown?!
Just looking at
the not so impressive breeding of California Chrome, your answer will not be in
affirmative. In simple, California Chrome’s pedigree reads:
Mr. Prospector: 4S
x 3D
Raise a Native: 5S
x 4D
Gold Digger: 5S x
4D
Northern Dancer:
4D x 5D
Numbered Account:
4D x 4D
Buckpasser: 5D x
5D
Intriguing: 5D x
5D
At the first look,
one thing that strikes me is California Chrome doesn’t have those
Aristocratic and fancy bloodlines which Kentucky
equines supposedly have in its first three generations except Mr. Prospector.
But it has all the bloodlines which are considered who’s who of modern
thoroughbred breeding, albeit in far away generations. California Chrome has
struck amazing form this form should take her home in Belmont Stakes.
California Chrome was bred at a dirt cheap price. It is an
outsider, from California.
Its veteran trainer Art Sherman is not a trainer who has won many big races.
Its breeders and owners were considered as small time racing fraternity. California
Chrome’s jockey Victor Espinoza is not a big race winner. If California
Chrome wins Triple Crown all these things come true. It occurs to me these kinds
of wonders happen in this amazing world.
California Chrome’s nasal strip controversy, experts and
pedigree buffs down playing its not so impressive breeding points to its
readiness to lift the Triple Crown trophy
Triple Crown trophy won by Seattle Slew in the year
1977.
