Idaho’s connection – California Chrome returns Saturday

IdaBet.com has a special fondness (as do most) for this 2014 American Horse of the Year. Bred in California, Chrome has some Idaho roots (sired by Lucky Pulpit). Chrome will make his return to the races on Saturday, January 9th, 2016 in the Grade 2 $200,000 San Pasqual Stakes. With expected rain in the area California Chrome could make his comeback on a sloppy surface. All races on the Santa Anita card will be on the main track.

California Chrome hasn’t been seen at the races since finishing a good second in the Dubai World Cup last March. He got back with a work in November and turned in a very impressive drill last Saturday at Santa Anita. With Trainer Art Sherman in charge, and Chrome coming off extended layoffs, he will likely take a lot of money at the windows, so looking for alternatives might be a good move.

Good luck to you all and to Chrome and his connections this weekend. Thanks for choosing to direct your play our way at IdaBet.com.

May 3 Racing News

Hello Racing Fans for Saturday, May 3

HANDLE DOWN ON OAKS DAY

Wagering fell 5.5% on Churchill Downs racing card Friday.  The nation’s largest group of racing fans, HANA, urged a boycott of the action as a result of increase in takeout at the last minute.  Churchill has also come under fire from prominent horse owner Rick Porter who was not offered seating for the day despite having horses in the stakes race as well as being a Horse of the Year owner and Derby owner in the past.  More bad news when legendary jockey Ron Turcotte of Secretariat fame told the media he’s been refused a handicapped parking pass for several years.  In addition, many ADW’s are prohibited from taking the racing action at Churchill forcing many fans to sites they don’t want to play with.
