California Chrome sizzles in final workout before Pegasus World Cup

With the richest, and last, race of California Chrome's career a week away in the $12 million Pegasus World Cup here at Gulfstream Park, trainer Art Sherman and his son and assistant, Alan, were so focused on that goal that the fact California Chrome recorded the final workout of his career on Saturday morning didn't fully hit them. For Art Sherman, "It hasn't registered yet," he said. "It will after the race -- this is it, guys." California Chrome looked as good as ever in that final workout, effortlessly flying through five furlongs in 58.91 seconds, and galloping out six furlongs in 1:12.41, according to Daily Racing Form's Mike Welsch.
