What do you think? Will he be Triple Crown Champion this Saturday? Personally I hope so and think he has the ability.

I hope so too.

I also heard that Sketchers is sponsoring him for the race & will have their logo all over him this weekend so I hope that doesn't jinx him.

I'll be rooting for him like I have been the last 2 races.  His jockey was on GMA this morning.  He looked hilarious next to Michael Strahan but sure seems like a neat guy.  Michael asked him if he got nervous before he ran and he said, "I do sometimes but not with California Chrome, he's cool".

Rooting for him, yes. Do I think he can do it? Well . . . not sure. But he's a great one no matter what.

This is a grueling race.  Would I like to see him win it...of course.  My only thought is can he get the distance.  I sure hope he can. GO CC, GO!

Oh yeah, they need to market that logo on hats, shirts, bags, you name it.  I'd buy and wear proudly whether he wins the Triple Crown or not!

 I know he will be the next Triple Crown Winner! Thank you California Chrome for using our product THE Muscle Mass as your daily regimen.  THE Muscle Mass is keeping California Chrome strong and healthy while continuing to gain weight even through the stress of traveling and racing.

I worry about the pace of the race.  If they keep it reasonable I think he can do it.

I pray he does and the worst part is I cannot watch it, I didn't get to watch the first two races so I'm refusing to watch this one too. Makes me sad that I will miss History being made in the moment but I'm superstitious that way...

I certainly hope he can do it.  

Personally, based on his performances in the KD and PS, I'd say it's certainly possible. I don't feel he was even asked to fully give it his all in those races, so with this one being more gruelling, I feel that he has enough to give.

You have some serious willpower lol. I missed the first two as well because I was at a barrel race but I can't miss this race. I know history is going to be made and I want to watch it in real time not replay!

I'm probably going to have to miss it and can't decide if I'm going to look it up on my phone or wait until I can watch it on DVR, hmmm. I know I won't be able to stand it either way!

Yea, he's going to win and Curly will run second.  There is nothing else in the field that can outrun these two.  Everyone on the backside knows Chrome will win.  My husband says Chrome has a foot pedal.  Only the armchair handicappers and analysts who have to fill T.V. time are saying others have a shot.  It will be the Chrome-Curly show again.  My husband said Chrome had an awesome work the other day.  He said the horse is getting faster.  By the way, Curly is only 15-2 but has a HUGE heart.  You can throw a ton of dirt in his face and bump the hell out of him, he just keeps coming.  I love Curly.

 Is this suppose to be 5-2?  I have never seen 15-2.  I haven't even looked at the morning line so I don't know who the handicappers are picking.
