The likely favorite for next weekend's Kentucky Derby is a flashy red horse with a big white blaze down his face. His name is California Chrome, and he's of humble origin: a home-bred from the Central Valley taking on expensive horses with Kentucky blue grass connections. It's been a long time since a horse from the Golden State won the Derby. The last was a horse named Decidedly, back in 1962.
