California Chrome Cough Caused by Blister in Throat

There was some worry Thursday morning after Preakness Stakes favorite California Chrome came down with a bit of a cough.

The culprit?

A small blister on his throat.

The fears were blown way out of proportion, according to those familiar with the situation.

"California Chrome is fine. His throat is fine. He had a little tickle," trainer Art Sherman's son, Alan Sherman, said.  "He is not scratching from the Preakness."

The colt had a similar blister before his Derby win, so perhaps this is a good sign.
