Dual Classic winner and Horse of the Year finalist California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit) breezed six furlongs in 1:11.60 at Los Alamitos yesterday in preparation for his 4-year-old debut in Santa Anita's GII San Antonio S. Feb. 7. With blinkers on and regular rider Victor Espinoza aboard, the flashy chestnut doled out splits of :23 1/5, :47 2/5 and :59 1/5. Trainer Art Sherman's son and assistant Alan Sherman described the work as “outstanding.” The GI Hollywood Derby hero's next work will be pushed back to Monday, Jan. 19 due to the Jan. 17 Eclipse Awards in Florida.
