All-time leading money earner California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit) is scheduled to make his next start in the GI Awesome Again S. Oct. 1 at Santa Anita. Fresh off his five-length victory in the GI TVG Pacific Classic Aug. 20, the California-bred is line for a $1-million bonus if he wins both the Awesome Again and the GI Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita Nov. 5.
“He's come out of the Pacific Classic in great shape,” trainer Art Sherman said from his Los Alamitos base. “We'll bring him up to Santa Anita about a week before the race and let him get re-acclimated there. We did that earlier this year and it worked out real well. The million dollar bonus is very nice, but if he wasn't ready, we wouldn't be running. The Breeders' Cup Classic is our major objective, no question, but he's doing great and we expect him to run big in the Awesome Again.”
