Everyone is Talking About Chrome

Even though the official payout for bettors wasn't staggering, the return on investment for California Chrome's breeding has been. Take a look at the numbers presented by ESPN's Darren Rovell.

The more success the horse garners, the higher the price goes for trainers and horse owners who hope to grab some of California Chrome's DNA for a potential prize-winning descendant. 

How big of a deal is a potential Triple Crown winner?

Notables from all over the sports and sports-entertainment world were talking about the win.

With the Belmont Stakes taking place on June 7, the world should be prepared for an even busier blitz of California Chrome stories and information over the next three weeks.

This is just the third time in the last 10 years that one horse has won the first two legs of the Triple Crown. The last to complete the Triple Crown was Affirmed.

With such a rare sports occurrence within reach, California Chrome and the sport of horse racing deserves every bit of the attention it gets leading into the Belmont Stakes.
