“It was such a thrill to meet the trainer and owner of such a magnificent horse. They were so friendly, and just beamed about how blessed they’ve been with California Chrome. Then we got to actually meet the horse – what a beauty! Spirited guy – ate the treat ride out of my hand and nuzzled me for more,” said Yarc.
