Texas Chrome is done for the season, according to trainer J.R. Caldwell. A 3-year-old who won the Super Derby and Oklahoma Derby, Texas Chrome has returned to his Remington Park base after a ninth-place finish in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile on Nov. 4 at Santa Anita. “We’re looking at the Oaklawn meet,” Caldwell said. “He’s done until at least Oaklawn.” Oaklawn, the Hot Springs, Ark., track, opens Jan. 13. Caldwell will have a stable based there, he said, and hopes to move a division of horses into Churchill Downs. Texas Chrome traveled to Churchill in June and ran third in the Grade 3 Matt Winn. He’s been the star of the Caldwell barn, winning four of eight starts this year and earning $660,245. Texas Chrome races for Keene Thoroughbreds. He earned a chance at the Grade 1, $1 million BC Dirt Mile after pairing up September wins in the $400,000 Super Derby at Louisiana Downs and the $400,000 Oklahoma Derby at Remington. The Breeders’ Cup start was a first for Keene Thoroughbreds, for Caldwell, and for jockey C.J. McMahon. “Obviously, we all wanted to [do] better,” Caldwell said. “It was disappointing. It was one of those deals where we took our shot and it didn’t work out like we wanted it to. We enjoyed the experience, and can’t wait to be back.” On Saturday, Texas Chrome’s stablemate Country Candy won a $65,000 division of the Texas Stallion Stakes at Retama Park near San Antonio. It was her second stakes win in her last three starts. She could turn up in the Dixie Belle at Oaklawn or the Bara Lass at Sam Houston, Caldwell said. The $125,000 Dixie Belle for 3-year-old fillies at six furlongs is on Jan. 21, and the $50,000 Bara Lass for Texas-bred fillies goes at the same distance Jan. 20.
