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.
California Chrome was expected to become a monster favorite at post time so Gambling911.com was suggesting locking in the current price here.
