Trainer Art Sherman on California Chrome’s likely Preakness competition:
“You know, they’ve all gotten beat,†he said. “People are gonna have to realize [California Chrome] is coming off five victories straight and a lot of [these other] horses are still eligible for conditions. There are no bona fide stakes horses in there.
“If you’ve been in the game as long as I have, you’ve got to prove yourself. You’re not going to get away with an easy-go just because you’re fresh coming into this race. [Chrome] is a seasoned, veteran horse right now coming into these races and I think that’s going to be a big help for him.â€
The Kentucky Derby winner and nine others are possible for next Saturday.
