The Great Chrome Heist: Who Owns California Chrome Now?
Ah, California Chrome. The chestnut champion with a mane as golden as a Californian sunset and a running style that could leave a Ferrari in the dust. But who gets to brag about owning this equine superstar these days? Well, buckle up, because this story is more exciting than a Triple Crown race itself.
From Humble Beginnings to Racing Royalty
California Chrome wasn't born with a silver horseshoe in his mouth. Owned by the delightful duo of "DAP Racing" (that's "Dumb Ass Partners" for those keeping score at home), Perry Martin and Steve Coburn, Chrome rose from racetrack underdog to Triple Crown contender. These guys, along with their wives (the real masterminds behind the scenes, let's be honest), proved that even a funny name and a budget-friendly breeding program could land you a champion.
A Change in the Reins: Enter Taylor Made Farm
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
Fast forward to 2015, and things get interesting. Coburn, maybe feeling the need for a new kind of hay (or perhaps a fancier stable?), decides to sell his share to Taylor Made Farm, a Kentucky breeding powerhouse. This move shakes things up, and a new ownership group, the aptly named "California Chrome, LLC" is formed.
The Final Gallop: California Chrome Finds His Forever Home
But the story doesn't end there, folks! In 2019, California Chrome, now a seasoned veteran with a cabinet full of trophies, gets shipped across the Pacific to Japan. That's right, folks, California Chrome is living the dream life in the Land of the Rising Sun! Owned by JS Company, Chrome now spends his days relaxing in a luxurious stable, most likely reminiscing about his racing glory days and plotting world domination (just kidding... mostly).
