California Chrome treated for throat blister
Tom Keyser California Chrome has been treated for a minor throat blister, which has been categorized by his connections as minor.
BALTIMORE - California Chrome has a small blister in his throat, which Alan Sherman, Art Sherman’s son and top assistant, described as a pimple. He said it appeared before the Derby, went down after treatment, and came back this week.
The throat is being treated again with a wash that is “all glycerin to coat it,” Alan Sherman said. He said blood work drawn Thursday was perfect, indicating no infection. He did not sound concerned in the least.
“Maybe we’ll get a bigger price,” Alan Sherman said.
