Chrome's co-owner, \u003ca href=\"http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/06/california-chrome-owner-triple-crown-belmont\">Steve Coburn told NBC Sports in an emotional post race interview\u003c/a> that he doesn't think any horse will win the Triple Crown in his lifetime. Coburn said it was cowardly for some owners to have their horses to sit out one of the Triple Crown races, in order send a fresh horse to try and take down his horse which competed in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont. Tonalist, the winner, did not race in the Derby or Preakness. The heavy favorite was running his third tough race in a 5-week span. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nj.com/horse-racing/index.ssf/2014/06/belmont_stakes_2014_twitter_reacts_swiftly_to_california_chrome_co-owner_steve_coburns_rant.html\">Coburn's comments were debated by fans on Twitter.\u003c/a> It has been 36 years since there was a Triple Crown winner.

They want to know if California Chrome can \u003cstrong>really\u003c/strong> win the Triple Crown. Yes, I say, with complete conviction. How do I know this? It’s not because the flashy chestnut from the Central Valley has drawn a good post position (2) for the race, or that he’s training like monster, or that he’s put on weight, even after a grueling series of races. It's not because Chrome’s breeding indicates he’s got just as good a chance as the next horse of staying the distance.

Nope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chrome will win because of Lady Luck. Chrome’s team knows the importance of luck. All race trackers do.

I learned about this while working on the backstretch at Arlington Park outside of Chicago. Walking horses around in the early morning after they’ve exercised, you start to see what folks do to conjure luck. Avoid black cats, sure. But some folks refuse to eat peanuts in the barn. Others nail horseshoes right-side-up in doorways so their luck doesn’t run out. It’s institutional: Some tracks skip the number 13 when numbering their barns. No horse whatsoever will be found in barn 13 at one of the country’s most venerable tracks — Kentucky’s Keeneland. There wasn’t one at Arlington Park when I worked there either — I actually went looking for it, to make sure. \u003ca href=\"http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/53764/racetrack-veterans-look-for-luck-in-odd-customs-and-beliefs\">(One trainer takes this to extremes.)\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chrome's lucky talisman for the Triple Crown is a misspelled saddle blanket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How do you spell California Chrome? Well, in Kentucky, somehow it got spelled \"Califorina Chrome\" on his saddle blanket, and track officials presented that to the horse when he got to town. Some folks felt it was a slight, maybe done on purpose. Racing writers across the country smirked at Churchill Downs' error. It was embarrassing. Then Pimlico Race Course, home of the Preakness, did the same thing — on purpose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why? Because anything that's worked to get California Chrome to the winners' circle thus far should not be messed with. Chrome won the Kentucky Derby after getting that misspelled saddle blanket. Now it's part of the winning equation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/153195979&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as Chrome arrived in the Big Apple to prep for the third leg of the Triple Crown, naturally, Belmont officials presented his owners with another misspelled saddle blanket. If — ahem — \u003cem>when\u003c/em> he wins, Team Chrome promises to autograph it and auction it for charity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s that \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/belmont-officials-allow-california-chrome-to-wear-nasal-strip\" target=\"_blank\">nasal strip that caused a brief commotion\u003c/a> two weeks ago. If New York racing officials didn’t let Chrome wear the nasal strip, well then, said trainer Art Sherman, the owners might withdraw from the race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Perry Martin, he might not run if they say you can’t run with a nasal strip,\" Sherman said, referring to California Chrome's co-owner. \"He’s very funny about things like that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/News/JAVMANews/Pages/s021500e.aspx\">Nasal strips are not performance enhancing\u003c/a>, and the horse trains without it. So, you'd think his connections wouldn't go to the mat if he couldn't wear it. Thankfully, we never had to find out: Racing officials quickly changed that rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The luck of the possum?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there is the possum story. A possum scared a lot of people on the track one misty morning at Belmont. The marsupial started ambling across the race track while Chrome was galloping down the stretch. Most high-strung thoroughbreds would spook and possibly injure themselves. Everyone watching held their breath. The possum spooked the horse next to Chrome. But you can see in \u003ca href=\"http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/85242/california-chrome-unfazed-by-opossum-on-track\" target=\"_blank\">the video from Blood-Horse\u003c/a>, Chrome remains oblivious to the possum. And I consider that very lucky, though assistant trainer Alan Sherman, says, heck, they have coyotes at Los Alamitos, so Chrome wasn’t going to be bothered by a little old possum, anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=201lcDRo_dg&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/85242/california-chrome-unfazed-by-opossum-on-track\" target=\"_blank\">More information at Blood-Horse\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you discount luck, there is good reason to believe California Chrome will be the first Triple Crown winner in 36 years — and the first ever California-bred to win it. The telltale sign is that he’s putting on weight, and he’s training like he wants more work. He's run a lot of hard races this year. Even good horses might get worn out, become less interested in racing and go off their feed. Not Chrome. He’s pulling his rider around the track in the mornings and still loving to run. \u003ca href=\"http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/85396/california-chrome-sharp-in-final-belmont-work\" target=\"_blank\">Another video from Blood-Horse\u003c/a> showed his latest workout, which had onlookers raving about him — even some East Coast handicappers who pooh-poohed him before both the Derby and Preakness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU9T7-PwGH0&w=420&h=315]\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/85396/california-chrome-sharp-in-final-belmont-work\" target=\"_blank\">More information at Blood-Horse\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So a lot is going Team Chrome's way. And a lot of us want a little piece of that luck. A crowd of 100,000 is expected to show up at Belmont to see him run Saturday. The horse is happy and his humans remain almost naively happy. Every interview is upbeat, every comment about their horse a positive one. They just stand back and admire him, enjoying the ride. They know it’s all up to Chrome — and maybe that saddle blanket.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Says it was cowardly that some owners had their horses sit out one of the Triple Crown races to be fresh.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1402241244,"stats":{"hasAudio":true,"hasVideo":true,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":22,"wordCount":1229},"headData":{"title":"California Chrome Finishes Disappointing Fourth in Belmont Stakes: Co-Owner Steve Coburn is Bitter. | KQED","description":"Says it was cowardly that some owners had their horses sit out one of the Triple Crown races to be fresh.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"disqusIdentifier":"138105 http://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=138105","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/06/06/will-california-chrome-get-lucky-a-misspelled-blanket-could-help-win-the-triple-crown/","disqusTitle":"California Chrome Finishes Disappointing Fourth in Belmont Stakes: Co-Owner Steve Coburn is Bitter.","customPermalink":"2014/06/05/california-chrome-get-lucky-triple-crown/","path":"/news/138105/will-california-chrome-get-lucky-a-misspelled-blanket-could-help-win-the-triple-crown","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_138170\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/495534789.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-138170\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/495534789-640x431.jpg\" alt=\"California Chrome, with exercise rider Willie Delgado up, at Belmont Park.

Then Pimlico Race Course, home of the Preakness, did the same thing — on purpose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why? Because anything that's worked to get California Chrome to the winners' circle thus far should not be messed with. Chrome won the Kentucky Derby after getting that misspelled saddle blanket. Now it's part of the winning equation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/153195979&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as Chrome arrived in the Big Apple to prep for the third leg of the Triple Crown, naturally, Belmont officials presented his owners with another misspelled saddle blanket. If — ahem — \u003cem>when\u003c/em> he wins, Team Chrome promises to autograph it and auction it for charity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s that \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/belmont-officials-allow-california-chrome-to-wear-nasal-strip\" target=\"_blank\">nasal strip that caused a brief commotion\u003c/a> two weeks ago. If New York racing officials didn’t let Chrome wear the nasal strip, well then, said trainer Art Sherman, the owners might withdraw from the race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Perry Martin, he might not run if they say you can’t run with a nasal strip,\" Sherman said, referring to California Chrome's co-owner. \"He’s very funny about things like that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/News/JAVMANews/Pages/s021500e.aspx\">Nasal strips are not performance enhancing\u003c/a>, and the horse trains without it. So, you'd think his connections wouldn't go to the mat if he couldn't wear it. Thankfully, we never had to find out: Racing officials quickly changed that rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The luck of the possum?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there is the possum story. A possum scared a lot of people on the track one misty morning at Belmont. The marsupial started ambling across the race track while Chrome was galloping down the stretch. Most high-strung thoroughbreds would spook and possibly injure themselves. Everyone watching held their breath. The possum spooked the horse next to Chrome. But you can see in \u003ca href=\"http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/85242/california-chrome-unfazed-by-opossum-on-track\" target=\"_blank\">the video from Blood-Horse\u003c/a>, Chrome remains oblivious to the possum. And I consider that very lucky, though assistant trainer Alan Sherman, says, heck, they have coyotes at Los Alamitos, so Chrome wasn’t going to be bothered by a little old possum, anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/201lcDRo_dg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/201lcDRo_dg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/85242/california-chrome-unfazed-by-opossum-on-track\" target=\"_blank\">More information at Blood-Horse\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you discount luck, there is good reason to believe California Chrome will be the first Triple Crown winner in 36 years — and the first ever California-bred to win it. The telltale sign is that he’s putting on weight, and he’s training like he wants more work. He's run a lot of hard races this year. Even good horses might get worn out, become less interested in racing and go off their feed. Not Chrome.

Right now the horse is an overwhelming favorite, despite coughing a few times after his workout Thursday morning. Veterinarians have cleared him to race, saying the issue is a small blister in his throat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the years that I worked at the Baltimore Sun, I was among the legions of reporters sent to Pimlico on a hot Saturday each May to cover the Preakness Stakes. In the Triple Crown trio of races, the Preakness is the one people often forget about. Lacking the snobbery and cachet of the Kentucky Derby and the historical significance of the Belmont Stakes, the role of the Preakness is often reduced to crushing our collective hopes for a Triple Crown winner. (To be fair, though, in the past decade three horses have won the first two legs of the Triple Crown, leaving even the honor of disappointing the masses to the Belmont Stakes.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"8f57064210f46fa1f35a72568c3d0794\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside Pimlico, the grandstands on the perimeter of the track are for the wine-and-cheese crowd, drawn to the Preakness by a love of racing, gambling or, more often, the social status associated with being there. Between each race, crowds spill inside the concourse to line up at the betting windows and grab a black-eyed Susan cocktail before returning to their seats for the next race. The cycle repeats every half hour, back and forth, all day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the grandstands are for the serious racing fans, you might be tempted to call the infield the cheap seats, but really the people there have come for another reason altogether: live music and booze. For a journalist sent to document the wild spectacle of the whole event, Pimlico is like a custard-filled doughnut — the perimeter is fine and fluffy, but the good stuff is in the middle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My first year out, I made my way inside the track early, hoping to get the lay of the land before the crowds filled in. Passing under the racetrack through a tunnel, the infield came into view. Several stages dotted the landscape, a visible sign of how race organizers are working to turn the event into a legitimate music festival, not just a 10-hour drink-a-thon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136351\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-136351\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/547404_853348665453_597722191_n-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"One of the best views of Pimlico is on top of the press box where journalists covering the races often take their lunch.

Right now the horse is an overwhelming favorite, despite coughing a few times after his workout Thursday morning. Veterinarians have cleared him to race, saying the issue is a small blister in his throat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the years that I worked at the Baltimore Sun, I was among the legions of reporters sent to Pimlico on a hot Saturday each May to cover the Preakness Stakes. In the Triple Crown trio of races, the Preakness is the one people often forget about. Lacking the snobbery and cachet of the Kentucky Derby and the historical significance of the Belmont Stakes, the role of the Preakness is often reduced to crushing our collective hopes for a Triple Crown winner. (To be fair, though, in the past decade three horses have won the first two legs of the Triple Crown, leaving even the honor of disappointing the masses to the Belmont Stakes.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside Pimlico, the grandstands on the perimeter of the track are for the wine-and-cheese crowd, drawn to the Preakness by a love of racing, gambling or, more often, the social status associated with being there. Between each race, crowds spill inside the concourse to line up at the betting windows and grab a black-eyed Susan cocktail before returning to their seats for the next race. The cycle repeats every half hour, back and forth, all day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the grandstands are for the serious racing fans, you might be tempted to call the infield the cheap seats, but really the people there have come for another reason altogether: live music and booze. For a journalist sent to document the wild spectacle of the whole event, Pimlico is like a custard-filled doughnut — the perimeter is fine and fluffy, but the good stuff is in the middle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My first year out, I made my way inside the track early, hoping to get the lay of the land before the crowds filled in. Passing under the racetrack through a tunnel, the infield came into view.
