Location: Kentucky | total performance - 2014-06-03 1:19 PM NonaY - 2014-06-03 11:50 AM 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.
I think she means 15.2 hands. |

Location: NC | I hope he wins. It will be amazing if he does. We were actually trying to figure out what time we want to get to Belmont yesterday. the tickets are for 930 am but dont know if we want to be there all day. Will be betting on him even if its $2 bet. If I get any good pics, I will post them. (friend and i are bringing our good cameras but its going to be crowded!!) |

TurnLane bought this for her husband? Is this the type of thing you had in mind? |

Location: California | Chrome will win because of who he is. You can't create a horse like this with product or whatever. He's kind of a freak like Secretariat but you know what I'm saying? Not Flair or any product can take credit for what this horse is about to do. They could have put a Hello Kitty bandaid on his nose and he would still win. He was just born to do it. |

| What is interesting is after all the effort and money spent on the perfect pairings of sire and dam, the genetic analysis, the supplements, drugs and training methods, some pretty old records still stand today. In humans the olympic records are shattered each year. But, Man o' war and secretariat still hold their own. |

Well after the race is over you can come to my house I have the first two races recorded. |

Location: Online | I think he has a great shot, then I will have to eat my words because last year I said a triple crown winner will never happen again as long as there are 20 horses in the Derby. The best horse doesn't always win the Derby because of too many horses. But this year the best horse won the Derby and the Preakness. Both races Chrome was going away and made it look too easy. I have no doubts he can go 1 1/2 mile no problem. |

Haha!! Now I feel really stupid! After I looked at it again, 15-2 makes sense. |

Fernando takes it all the way back to the lineage of Betty Derr – the previously mentioned "blue-hen mare" who was born in 1928 and begat a long line of girl power in the breeding shed and on the race track. Fernando and Roman made a big deal out of the fact that a former champion juvenile filly named Numbered Account is present in two places in Love the Chase's bloodlines – making her "intensely inbred" in the pedigree nomenclature. Numbered Account was one tough mother on the track and as a dam, producing plenty of runners with notable stamina.
And that is a key: If you want to win classic races of longer distances like the Derby (1¼ miles), the Preakness (1 3/16) and the Belmont (1½), your horse generally must be bred for staying power.
"There is a reinforcement of stamina from Numbered Account," Roman said. "There's a hell of a lot of stamina within the dam to indicate why he's doing what he's doing at classic distances."

Lucky Pulpit brings some rich blood to the equation as well. His granddad was A.P. Indy, the 1992 Horse of the Year who may have won the Derby that year if not scratched because of a minor injury the day of the race. He has sired a succession of studs. A.P. Indy's father was Seattle Slew, winner of the 1977 Triple Crown. And the immortal Secretariat is one more generation back in the ancestry.
"It's like a Who's Who," Fernando said. "Heavy stamina sires stacked on top of each other."
But the underappreciated link on that side may be California Chrome's grandsire, Pulpit. Although deceased for two years, Pulpit's progeny are proving to be prolific sires in their own right. Tapit is the leading North American sire in terms of 2014 earnings, at $5.7 million. Lucky Pulpit is third at $3.7 million – nearly all of which has been earned by California Chrome.
By winter, California Chrome's success had led to Lucky Pulpit's stud fee quadrupling to $10,000 – and that was before Chrome won the Santa Anita Derby, Kentucky Derby and Preakness in breathtaking fashion. By the next mating season, his fee will have risen some more.
And if California Chrome becomes the first Triple Crown winner in 36 years, his slow mom and short-winded dad will improbably be the premier power couple in thoroughbred breeding. Those laggardly finishes in cheap races at offbeat tracks will be ancient history for newfound breeding royalty.
