Talk about a non sequitur - I don't see the logic in making such a statement.

Your rationale is also not specific to California Chrome at all. Presumably this would apply to any and all attempts in the future that may come up. And that doesn't sync with the fact that it has been done many times before.

I don't know whether Chrome will win or not - of course I am rooting for him. But citing other failed attempts and not citing specifics about California Chrome makes no sense to me.

I think he was not being overly serious, and was perhaps waxing nostalgic.

Then again, some of the failures in logic I've seen regarding horses like Zenyatta, ya just never know.
