DUBAI, U.A.E. (Mar. 21, 2016) — Several U.S.-based contenders have recently drilled at Meydan for the $10 million Dubai World Cup (UAE-I), including last year’s runner-up, 2014 Horse of the Year California Chrome .
The son of Lucky Pulpit , owned by Perry and Denise Martin and Taylor Made Farm, worked out on main track at Meydan March 19, covering five furlongs in :59 2/5.
“He came out of the work great,” assistant trainer Alan Sherman said of California Chrome, who walked the shedrow Sunday and trotted for 15 minutes Monday on the Quarantine Centre training track under exercise rider Dihigy Gladny. “He is very happy this morning.”
Commenting on the 5-year-old’s development since winning the 2014 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) and Preakness Stakes (gr. I), Sherman said, “He’s gotten bigger and stronger. He looks fantastic.”
