California Chrome’s Unexpected Journey
California Chrome, the beloved underdog horse, captured the hearts of many as he won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. Unfortunately, his luck ran out at the Belmont Stakes, where he tied for fourth place with Wicked Strong, trailing behind Tonalist, Commissioner, and Medal Count.
After the race, Chrome’s co-owner, Steve Coburn, expressed his disappointment, arguing that it’s not fair for horses to skip the earlier races to run the Belmont fresh. Plus, the iconic horse had history, expectations, as well as industry pressure piled up on his back. Added to it was the injury that he received at the start.
