California Chrome out; Will return for full 5yo season

[Danzig]

I remember the flak Sherman got for suggesting they not run chrome in the Santa Anita derby. Thy had the points already, and art thought he'd give the horse a break. He ended up running...I have often wondered.....if art went with his original plan...would chrome string together derby, preakness, belmont rather than derby, derby, Preakness...of course we will never know.
So often, people say they would do, or absolutely not do something. Truth is, no one knows til they have to act...I have no doubt that we have all had to apologize for words spoken in the heat of the moment... As for the horse and what they've done...I think the owners made decisions based on thinking chrome was a good horse, and they'd give him chances to prove it. Then again....I always try to give folks benefit of the doubt.
I hate to think Dubai was it...but I also think they will be hard pressed to get near the amount they probably think they should get for a stud deal. He's a big risk
