Bensalem, PA (SportsNetwork.com) – Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner California Chrome galloped over the Parx Racing track Thursday morning as he prepares to face seven other 3-year-olds in the $1 million, 1 1\/8-mile Pennsylvania Derby on Saturday<\/p>\n
Trained by Art Sherman with son Alan, California Chrome galloped about 1 1\/2 miles with exercise rider Willie Delgado. The colt schooled in the paddock and will be brought to the starting gate Friday morning.<\/p>\n
California Chrome will be ridden again by Victor Espinoza from the rail post, a position that is not favored by his connections. Alan Sherman looks to have his 3-year-old race away from the inside, allowing other horses to set the pace.<\/p>\n
“It looks like there will be a couple of speed horses. If he can be third, somehow get off the rail and not get trapped on the rail,” Alan Sherman noted about race strategy.<\/p>\n
Haskell winner Bayern, the 7-2 second pick, is the definite speed in the race. The other likely speed horse is C J’s Awesome who is 12-1 in the program and will break from the outside post in the eight-horse field with Hall of Fame jockey Edgar Prado on the colt for the second straight start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
