HE DID IT!   

 

  

No matter how you slice and dice it, he's still the horse to beat!  Yes, he needs racing luck, but keep in mind he has been successful in creating his own trip.  He listens to his jockey, he doesn't get rank and run off, so there's little chance that he will get caught up in a senseless speed duel.  If there's no pace, he will make his own and get on the lead, otherwise, he will stalk the leaders and finish just about how he has in his prior 5 wins.  Good luck, Junior!  (California Chrome's races, charts, all things Chrome)
