The chestnut got a much-deserved freshening after running fourth in the June 7 GI Belmont S., but could manage only sixth behind Bayern (Offlee Wild) as the 4-5 favorite in his return in the Sept. 20 GII Pennsylvania Derby. AThe race at Parx was a little disappointing to me,@ admitted California Chrome trainer Art Sherman. AI thought Benoit we would have got a little stronger race out of that. Any time your horse throws a little bit of a clunker, you get concerned.@ Despite the disappointing effort in Pennsylvania, Sherman is happy with what he has seen from his charge since. AI=m just so happy with the way he=s been training the last three weeks,@ the veteran conditioner said. AI have one more blowout this Saturday [at Los Alamitos] and that will be the last. Then we=ll take him to Santa Anita and school him over there, which he likes, so we=ll have a week of galloping over at Santa Anita.@ Sherman added, AYou haven=t seen the Chrome that I know yet.

It=s like a half-dozen horses that can easily win it and it should be a great betting race.@ TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 10/23/14 • PAGE 4 of 20 • thoroughbreddailynews.com Saturday, Santa Anita Park, post time: 8:35 p.m. EDT AHe settles in very rapidly wherever I take him and he BREEDERS' CUP CLASSIC-GI, $5,000,000, 3/up, 1 1/4m handles every surface that we put him on.
