Description: California Chrome (CA) CH , C, foaled February 18, 2011 (Lucky Pulpit - Love the Chase, by Not For Love) became the 140th winner of the Kentucky Derby with a brilliant performance in the 1 1/4 miles $2 million classic race for 3 year olds at historic Churchill Downs May 3, 2014. California Chrome, who is know to have bad gate habits, was expertly handled by rider Victor Espinoza; he got California Chrome away from there alertly. Espinoza had to settle him down as they ran by the stands for the first time, California Chrome wanted to get out there and race with the frontrunners Uncle Sigh and Chitu. He let those two go and the rider got 'Chromie' to settle in behind them. He held his position down the backstretch while angling to the outside. As the field rounded the far turn 'Chromie' came along on the outside to challenge for the lead. Samraat was running well to his outside as well. However, as they hit the 1/4 pole it was all California Chrome drawing off. He won well in hand by 3 lengths, with the rider standing up in the irons with a wave of victory before the finish line. Commanding Curve was closing well on the outside to get up for 2nd. Danza was just a length further back in 3rd. California Chrome is the first California bred to win the Kentucky Derby since Decidedly did it in 1962 and he is just the 4th California bred to win the Derby in its 140 year history. He is a home bred of Steve Coburn and Perry Martin. California Chrome's trainer, Art Sherman, is the oldest trainer to win a Kentucky Derby; he is 77 years old. California Chrome's racing record is 7-1-0 from 11 starts and he has earned $2,552,650. Drawing by Mel at Daily Racing Funnies.
