Los Alamitos, CA (SportsNetwork.com) – California Chrome, the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner, had one of his final workouts Saturday at Los Alamitos Race Course in advance of the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

The chestnut colt, with Victor Espinoza in the saddle, covered six furlongs in 1:12.20 and galloped out seven furlongs in 1:25 4/5.

“It was just what I wanted. He’ll have one more before the Breeders’ Cup,” noted trainer Art Sherman.

California Chrome was the 9-10 favorite versus seven rivals in the Pennsylvania Derby on Sept. 20 when he finished sixth behind Bayern in the 1 1/8-mile stakes at Parx Racing.

The probable Classic favorite is another 3-year-old, Eclipse Award winner Shared Belief.

California Chrome has never faced Shared Belief, but Candy Boy was second to the 2013 champion 2-year-old in last year’s CashCall Futurity. Shared Belief and Candy Boy were both sired by Candy Ride.
