I love Laura Hillenbrand, but I'm a bit annoyed that she's talking up California Chrome "breaking the track record." Isn't this particular (newly dirt) track like 2 years old? She should know better.

He won with a slipped saddle. That's perfectly impressive in its own right.

Since it is considered a record, I have no issues with it. I wanted to cut off my ears though when it came to listening to people say this was the best field ever. Taking nothing away from Chrome, who was terrific.

You don't think CC and Frosted are better than MDO and Pleasantly Perfect? Blasphemy!

I just think it's silly to make it sound like he did anything more than just run faster than the horse that beat him last year.

I agree though, he was sensational yesterday. I had Mubtaahij and would have done nicely if he'd won, but I was screaming with joy to see Chrome do it.

And the owners, whether Martin, Coburn or Taylor Made, have kept Sherman as the trainer for the entire ride, so they're all ok in my book. What a wonderful thing, to see a guy hit a career high in his eighth decade.
