The shermans say one of the Biggest Challenges on race day is keeping junior calm in the starting gate. We all hold our breath and say please come out of that gate, and every time he has hes run big races and won. If California Chrome cruises to victory today, hell keep california dreaming as he head to the Belmont Stakes on june 7 june 7th.
