CHROME SHINES AT ASCOT WORKOUT

Two stars were out at Berkshires' royal racecourse this morning. American Racehorse of the year 2014 California Chrome. And the U.K based Italian favorite Frankie Dettori.




As with the workout on Tuesday morning with Criterion, the race that is being prepared for is the Prince of Wales stakes held on the Wednesday of the Royal meeting.



The American Kentucky Derby Winner covered the same distance and course as the Australian entrant. The jockey this time though on board was the one and only Dettori, who himself is getting ready for a big race at the weekends Derby.




Both trainer and jockey were please with the horses piece of work, saying though the horse did have think about the courses inclined finish and bend, he took to the task well

The horses work partner was no slouch himself, ridden by Micheal Hills, Hugo Palmers  Aktabantay took a spin with the Americam giant.


Alan Sherman was at hand to watch his charge take to the course and said if the ground stayed as it was now, the horse could run a big race. and would only work again at his base in Newmarket and return to the Berkshire course only for the race itself.
