“California Chrome”
With the Belmont Stakes on June 7 and racing’s Triple Crown at stake, Northern Californians are again turning their attention to their very own California Chrome, an 11-foot, 2,500-pound chrome horse outside Safeway at 19th and S streets in midtown Sacramento. After the real horse won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, admirers adorned this one with roses. May it happen one more time.
Born at Harris Ranch and co-owned by a Yuba City family, California Chrome the thoroughbred is truly California Grown.
