Can California Chrome pull off what has not been done in 36 years?
A Triple Crown is a feat that has not been accomplished since Affirmed in 1978. Since then 12 horses have gone to claim the first two jewles of this elusive prize but fail in the third and final leg. 2014 has marked a year of firsts, at least in a long time. This year a California bred horse won the Kentucky Derby for the first time in over 50 years. The Kentucy Derby had a slow time for a fast track and caused doubt in peoples minds about how fast Chrome could actually go. In the Preakness Stakes on May 17 he proved them wrong and head held high and ears prick California Chrome took the second jewel in the triple crown, with a very fast pace and an oncoming charge from Ride On Curlin. I most certainly believe that California Chrome can win the rare Triple Crown.
