Coworkers With CC & TC Questions
Oy, this is an exciting day at work. One by one, coworkers are coming by asking me several questions about CC and the possibility of another TC. Here are the top 3 questions I'm being asked.
1. How long ago has it been since Secretariat won the last Triple Crown?  2. What's this about California Chrome's back story?  3. Will he race again if he wins the TC?  I'm sure I'm not the only one with inquiring coworkers. Feel free to list the questions you're being asked.

One of mine made the mistake of just mentioning it to me and off I went.. "Blah, blah,blah...Chrome this, Chrome that"...
 Unfortunately, She lost interest 1/2 way thru my story telling when her boss walked in

1) Well if he loses he can try again next year.
2) Why don't they breed him in between races to make more $?

Has been an interesting three weeks, but I don't mind cause the queries are always sincerely asked - what have found out is that the Disney Secretariat movie is everyone's all-time favorite
 the nasal strip issue is right up there also - the general public has no idea that horseracing has rules and regulations - I think there's an impression you just lead your horse out on any track and let em rip like NASCAR; there's a lot of confusion about parimutuel, many don't know you can bet exotics etc. Etc. Etc. And the best one was if Secretariat's heart was so oversized why haven't they run an MRI on Chrome to check and see if he is also afflicted!

I'm rotten lol - whenever there's a question that can't be answered always blame the CHRB or NYRA. While perhaps a covert ultrasound has already happened, CC can't have an MRI in New York because he's a Cal-bred and under CHRB rules to preserve racing integrity it could only be performed at UC Davis...

Was texting an ex-coworker, he has a small interest in racing.
