California Chrome has developed into a “rock star” according to his trainer, Art Sherman, so it should come as no surprise that the equine paparazzi are out in full force ahead of his bid for the Triple Crown on Saturday in the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park.
Perhaps no time of day generates more interest from photographers than bath time after morning exercise, when the connections (especially exercise rider Willie Delgado) are happy to have the work for the day completed and California Chrome savors the suds and hams it up for the camera.
Enjoy this slideshow from Eclipse Sportswire featuring some of the highlights from bath time for Chrome throughout the Triple crown!
