Hello everyone,
Paddock Girl here!
I know it's been a long time since I haven't posted anything and also that I didn't even make contact for either the Derby or the Preakness… but don't get me wrong, I've been in contact with horse racing during these months, promoting our love for this sport at other platforms… and in Spanish.
Enough about me, because today belongs to something that we've been waiting for quite a long time.
Today belongs to history! Today history will me made!
It's been 36 years since AFFIRMED grabbing the Triple Crown in 1978 like the champion it was, the last time one horse made it. Several of us only know about this after seeing it on Tv several years later. People who were luck enough to see it with their eyes, know how magnificent that day was…. and today we could be lucky too.
No one would have thought it would take this long to watch another horse entering the most exclusive horse racing club, the "triplecrowners". Even thought there has been several attempts to enter this hisorty book by horses like SPECTACULAR BID, ALYSHEBA, SUNDAY SILENCE, SILVER CHARM, REAL QUIET, CHARISMATIC and, of course, WAR EMBLEM and BIG BROWN, none of them made i, none of them won the Triple Crown.
Today we could have the 13th member of this elite group of champions, the first one since 1978. 13 might not be a luck number for some people, but in horse racing it could be a good one… and that 13th horse to try is CALIFORNIA CHROME.
Both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, "Cal Chrome" won like there was no competition on the field and won "easily" (not really, buy they made it look that way). Not bad for a horse that no one that one thought it ould make it this far, except its owners of course, Steve Coburn and Perry Martin.
Having a great trainer like Art Sherman it's great .
This team is special, full of heart and passion to accomplish what some people might have told them it wash;r possible. If they win today, Art Sherman will be the oldest trainer to do it, Victor Espinosa the first Hispanic to make it, CALIFORNIA CHROME the first horse from California to achieve it… and who would't like the irony of knowing that a stable called "Dumb Ass Partners" got the Triple Crown?
So, why will history will be made?
Because we could have a Triple Crown today, we could se history been written by CALIFORNIA CHROME, Victor Espinosa, Art Sherman and the "Dumb Ass Partners" Stable… and if we had to wait for a unique team like this to have it, then it was worth it.
Because CALIFORNIA CHROME has the support not only from California, but also from many horse racing fans all over the world who hope to see it being part of this glory.
Because the worst that it could happen is having one more attempt, be "chromies" for life and wait for another horse aiming for the Triple Crown like "Cal Chrome" very soon.
Because CALIFORNIA CHROME is a true champion, because it's time and because today we could be lucky to be part of history.
GO CHROME!!!
