He has won 5 of his last 6 on dirt by open lengths. Still trying to figure out if he can handle the dirt

ps look out for Lea

Dubai is a cesspool trying to buy respect and legitimacy. I hate that any u.s. horses go there.

Hoped for the win, but what a nice race by California Chrome.

$2 million for second place ain't too bad.

He's got lots of those ahead of him as wide as they want to run him every race.

what does the jockey make?

ElPrado 03-28-2015 10:56 PM

10%. So, $200,000.

Yeah Sherman didnt like that move either. Somewhat of a head scratchier. Bring him back home and give him a little break... Ran a really good race yesterday considering his trip...

He was uncovered throughout, but haven't we been told he likes being kept outside of horses in the clear, and not taking dirt in his face, like the PA. Derby?

Which one is it?

Exactly. If that is his preferred trip as they say, then he's gonna have to be a super horse to win when he goes up against real competition. That wide and clear trip will get him absolutely annihilated at Royal Ascot.

Maybe he can run in a wheelchair race.

I'm all for being sporting and thought they made the right choice going to Dubai, but going to Ascot is dumb.

He has no real shot in any race they are pointing him to.

He loves the attention and hospitality. Its his horse and he can do as he please. We sometimes complain that owners refuse to ship their horses and also complain if they ship them too much.
