Alchemy in Arabia - Chrome turns Gold!

Dateline: Meydan Racecourse, Dubai, UAE.

In a feat of magic worthy of a unicorn , yes even the track announcer called it Alchemy , California Chrome bettered his second place finish last year in the Dubai World Cup with a four length victory over an impressively talented 2016 field, that included two of American Pharoah's shadows from last year's Triple Crown Races; Frosted and Keen Ice. With this win Chrome has broken the $10 million barrier to become the highest winning Thoroughbred of all time.

Not bad for a horse whose parents had a total price of $10,500, and whose prospects would have gotten him laughed out of the show ring at a a 2012 yearling sale.

Happy New Pony Day!

3829332 3829811 I was a little too but, I don't think the target audience would have understood what a 'dam' was. It would have been nice though. Liked it that Tara Strong did the voice though. But they were credited as Mr. & Mrs. Sparkle though.
