Victor Espinoza and California Chrome Drawing
In 2014, Victor rode "Chromie" and won the first two jewels of the Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. He was beaten in the Belmont, the third jewel, after being stepped on coming out of the gates. He was still named 2014 American Three Year Old Horse of the Year, and 2014 Overall American Horse of the Year. 2015 Chromie took most of the year off after a rough start. He returned in 2016, and after winning his the first race off the layoff, was shipped to Dubia to run the 2016 World Cup. He had come in second in the 2015 World Cup race.
On Saturday March 26, 2016 the richest horse race in the world was run in Maydan Dubia. With a ten million dollar purse, the race atracts the top horses from around the world. California Chrome now a five year old, with Victor Espinoza up won the 2016 World Cup.
It was the most excited I ever was watching a horse race!
