'''California Chrome''' ([[foal]]ed February 18, 2011) is a champion [[National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame|US Hall of Fame]] [[Thoroughbred]] [[horse racing|racehorse]] who won the [[2014 Kentucky Derby]], [[2014 Preakness Stakes|Preakness Stakes]], and 2016 [[Dubai World Cup]]. He was the 2014 and 2016 [[American Horse of the Year]]. In 2016, he surpassed [[Curlin]] as the all-time leading North American horse in earnings won.

Bred in California, the [[chestnut (coat)|chestnut-colored]] horse was named for his flashy [[horse markings|white markings]], called "chrome" by horse aficionados. He was bred and originally owned by Perry Martin from [[Yuba City, California]], and Steve Coburn of [[Topaz Lake, Nevada]], who named their partnership [[DAP Racing]], standing for "Dumb Ass Partners"—a tongue-in-cheek response to a passerby who questioned their wisdom in purchasing California Chrome's [[Glossary of equestrian terms#D|dam]], Love the Chase. In 2015, Coburn sold his minority share to [[Taylor Made Farm]], and a new ownership group, California Chrome, LLC, was formed. The horse is trained by the father–son team of [[Art Sherman|Art and Alan Sherman]]. Dedicated fans—called "Chromies"—actively supported California Chrome, who has been called "the people's horse".

California Chrome's 2015 season was tumultuous. He began the year with second-place finishes in the [[San Antonio Stakes]] and Dubai World Cup. He then was shipped to the United Kingdom to train for the [[Prince of Wales's Stakes]] at [[Royal Ascot]] but was scratched a few days prior to the race due to a hoof bruise. Upon returning to the US in July 2015, he was diagnosed with bruising on his [[limbs of the horse|cannon bone]]s, which ended his 2015 season. Shortly thereafter, Coburn sold his ownership interest.<!--already mentioned in paragraph 1 that it was to Taylor Made Farm--> After a rest of several months, he returned to training with Sherman at [[Los Alamitos Race Course]] and regained his form with a six-race winning streak in 2016 which included Grade I wins in the Dubai World Cup, the [[Pacific Classic]], and the [[Awesome Again Stakes]] before suffering a narrow loss to [[Arrogate]] in the Breeders' Cup Classic. He again won the Horse of the Year, Moment of the Year, and Vox Populi awards in 2016. Following the [[Pegasus World Cup]] in January 2017, he retired to [[stud farm|stud]].

In 2023 California Chrome will bewas inducted into the [[National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.drf.com/news/nakatani-arrogate-california-chrome-songbird-top-2023-hall-fame-class|title=Nakatani, Arrogate, California Chrome, Songbird top 2023 Hall of Fame class|last=Grening|first=David|date=25 April 2023|publisher=[[Daily Racing Form]]|access-date=23 April 2023}}</ref>

==Background==

California Chrome was foaled on February 18, 2011,<ref name=equibase/> near [[Coalinga, California]], at Harris Farms, the [[horse breeding]] division of the [[Harris Ranch]].<ref name=ArringtonApr4SacBee/> He is a chestnut with four white [[horse markings#legLeg markings|stockings]]{{efn|The shorter marking on his left front leg is technically a partial stocking, as the high white only extends up the back half of the leg.}} and a [[horse markings#face markings|blaze]].<ref name=Rees5April2014/> At four years old, he stood {{hands|16}} tall.<ref name=Marquardt18Sept/>

Line 260:

California Chrome raced next in the September 20 [[Pennsylvania Derby]] at [[Parx Racing]]. He was the favorite, but drew the inside number 1 post position. Kentucky Derby rivals Candy Boy and Tapiture also entered. [[Bayern (horse)|Bayern]], who had a poor performance in the Preakness Stakes but later won the [[Haskell Invitational]], was the second favorite.<ref name=Zieralski15Sept/> Parx provided significant financial incentives to any horse entering who previously won a triple crown race or other selected Grade I races, so California Chrome's connections earned $200,000 simply for having him start.<ref name=Haskin15Sept/> Trapped on the rail, first by a speed horse in the initial stages of the race, and again on the far turn by a challenger who faded in the stretch, California Chrome was unable to gain momentum and finished sixth. Bayern had a clean trip, leading wire to wire, and won by {{frac|5|3|4}} lengths.<ref name=Haskin22Sept/> Espinoza explained, "I never really had a chance to let him run the way he had been running."<ref name=LaMarra28Oct/>

The next race was the [[Breeders' Cup Classic]] on November 1. Because many leading older horses retired in 2014, most of the main contenders for the 2014 Classic were the three year olds: in addition to California Chrome, former foes Bayern, Candy Boy and Tonalist entered. His chief rival was considered to be the then-undefeated [[American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt]], [[Shared Belief]], a [[gelding]] who missed the Triple Crown series due to hoof problems; the two had never faced each other.<ref name=Haskin29Sept2014/> California Chrome was 4-14–1 on the morning line, second favorite to Shared Belief.<ref name=Haskin27Oct/> In the race, Bayern bumped into Shared Belief at the start, then took the lead for the duration of the race. California Chrome was clear of traffic, maintained third place for most of the race, was closing at the end, and finished a very close third, only a neck behind winner Bayern, who won by a [[Horse length#Other measures|nose]] over second-place finisher Toast of New York. Shared Belief was fourth.<ref name="BCC2014"/> Post race analysis noted that California Chrome stayed on the outside throughout the race, and actually ran 44 feet farther than the winner.<ref name=Haskin5Nov/> Sherman spoke in positive terms of the horse's finish, stating, "My horse ran his eyeballs out. He was right there, right down to the money. I thought it was a great effort. He came back strong."<ref name=Farrell1Nov/> Espinoza was less enthusiastic: "On the backstretch I thought I had a chance to win... The last sixteenth [California Chrome] was digging as hard as he could, but getting just a little tired. I wish he had one more race. It was a little too much for him today."<ref name=Shinar1Nov/> Coburn visited the colt the following day and stated, "He was full of himself. I think he thought he won. And if the race had been just a little bit longer, I believe he would have."<ref name=Shinar5Nov/>

Later in the month California Chrome shipped to Del Mar, and following workouts on the turf course Sherman entered him in the [[Hollywood Derby]] on November 29. It was his first start on a grass race track.<ref name=Privman12Nov/> Sherman believed that California Chrome would do well running on grass, and it also would open up a variety of potential races to enter in 2015.<ref name=Privman30Nov/> He was the morning line favorite, with his toughest competitor viewed as Lexie Lou, a filly who defeated colts to win Canada's equivalent of the Kentucky Derby, the [[Queen's Plate]]. California Chrome won by two lengths, and the Canadian filly was second.<ref name=Shinar29Nov/> With the win, California Chrome earned four Grade I races for the year and was the only horse in the United States to have Grade I wins in 2014 on both dirt and turf tracks.<ref name=Privman30Nov/> Espinoza summed up the race by saying, "he's back."<ref name=Shinar29Nov/>

Line 296:

California Chrome's first reported foal, a colt out of the mare Pay the Man, was foaled on January 20, 2018.<ref>{{cite web|title=First Foal is a Colt for California Chrome|url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/225699/first-foal-is-a-colt-for-california-chrome|website=BloodHorse.com|access-date=February 11, 2018|language=en}}</ref> By 2019, he had bred a total of 473 mares and his first crop of yearlings sold at auction, the highest-priced selling for $325,000. In November 2019, Taylor Made announced the 50-member California Chrome syndicate agreed to sell California Chrome to the [[JS Company]] of Japan to stand the horse at the [[Arrow Stud]] in [[Hokkaido]]. The Syndicate retained a [[right of first refusal]] and a provision that when the horse retires from stud, he will return to the US and live out the remainder of his life at Taylor Made. The Martins also intend to remain involved. Referencing another American racehorse that had a substantial impact on the Thoroughbred industry after selling to Japan, Duncan Taylor stated, "I'm hoping he's the next [[Sunday Silence]]."<ref>{{cite web|title=Agreement in Place to Sell California Chrome to Japan |url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/237134/agreement-in-place-to-sell-california-chrome-to-japan |website=BloodHorse.com |date=20 November 2019}}</ref>

On July 18, 2020, California Chrome was represented by his first winner, Sunkar Time, in Russia.<ref>{{cite web |title=California Chrome Lands First Winner in Russia |url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/242468/california-chrome-lands-first-winner-in-russia |website=BloodHorse.com |access-date=23 August 2020 |language=en}}</ref> His first North American winner was a filly named Cilla, who won at [[Delaware Park Racetrack|Delaware Park]] on August 13, 2020, in her second start.

Cilla also became California Chrome's first black-type stakes winner when she won the 2021 Louisiana Legends Mademoiselle Stakes at [[Evangeline Downs]] and later won the [[Prioress Stakes]] at [[Saratoga Race Course]], becoming his first graded stakes winner.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/250667/cilla-first-black-type-winner-for-california-chrome |access-date=2022-06-16 |website=BloodHorse.com|title=Cilla First Black-Type Winner for California Chrome}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Cilla Rallies In Stretch To Win Prioress At Saratoga - Horse Racing News {{!}} Paulick Report |url=https://paulickreport.com/news/thoroughbred-racing/cilla-rallies-in-saratoga-stretch-to-win-prioress/ |access-date=2022-06-16 |website=paulickreport.com}}</ref> Cilla was voted the 2021 Louisiana-Bred Horse of the Year and Champion Three-Year-Old Filly in 2022.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/259603/cilla-named-2021-louisiana-bred-horse-of-the-year |access-date=2022-06-16 |website=BloodHorse.com|title=Cilla Named 2021 Louisiana-Bred Horse of the Year}}</ref>

California Chrome also sired filly California Angel, winner of the 2021 [[Jessamine Stakes]] at [[Keeneland]], colt California Frolic, a winner of two black-type stakes at [[Gulfstream Park]], and colt Midnight Chrome, who finished third in the 2021 [[Remsen Stakes]] behind future Belmont Stakes winner [[Mo Donegal]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/254043/california-angel-rises-to-occasion-in-jessamine |access-date=2022-06-16 |website=BloodHorse.com|title=California Angel Rises to Occasion in Jessamine}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=California Frolic wins tight finish in English Channel Stakes |url=https://www.drf.com/news/california-frolic-wins-tight-finish-english-channel-stakes |access-date=2022-06-16 |website=www.drf.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=» Hot Peppers scores in Belmont's Jersey Girl Stakes |url=https://www.obssales.com/2022/06/hot-peppers-scores-in-belmonts-jersey-girl-stakes/ |access-date=2022-06-16 |website=Ocala Breeders' Sales Company}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Mo Donegal Wins Narrow Victory Over Zandon In Remsen - Horse Racing News {{!}} Paulick Report |url=https://paulickreport.com/news/mo-donegal-wins-narrow-victory-over-zandon-in-remsen/ |access-date=2022-06-16 |website=paulickreport.com}}</ref>

In 2024 the Kazakhstan-owned Kabirkhan won the Group 1 [[Al Maktoum Challenge (thoroughbreds)|Al Maktoum Challenge]] in Dubai giving California Chrome his first G1 progeny.

==Awards and honors==

California Chrome won many honors in 2014. A [[concurrent resolution]] in the [[California State Assembly]] recognized the "outstanding performance of California Chrome" and all of his connections including not only his owners and trainers, but also Willie Delgado and groom Raul Rodriguez.<ref name="ACR 161 text"/> The resolution passed both chambers of the legislature unanimously on August 14. It was the first time that the California Legislature had honored a racehorse.<ref name=Arrington14Aug/> The city of Fresno proclaimed October 11, 2014, as "California Chrome Day".<ref name=FresnoFair/> In March 2015, the Los Angeles Sports Council ranked California Chrome's Kentucky Derby and Preakness wins third at the LA Sports Awards' Sports Moment of 2014, behind only the [[Los Angeles Kings]] Stanley Cup win and [[Clayton Kershaw]]'s Cy Young and National League MVP Awards.<ref name="LA Sports"/>
