At first, it looked like it might not happen, but California Chrome displayed the heart of a champion when he came from third place to win the Preakness Stakes on Saturday.
The Kentucky Derby winner – a chestnut colt with four white feet – had been heard coughing after training on Thursday, but was treated with a glycerin throat wash as his trainer declared it was just "a little tickle."
Winning the $1.5 million Preakness means that California Chrome could be the first horse in 36 years to take the Triple Crown – if he wins the Belmont Stakes in three weeks' time.
"The Triple Crown means so much, but I'm old-school," Art Sherman, the horse's trainer, told Fox News. "Let's just go one race at a time."
