On May 3rd, a horse by the name of California Chrome won the Kentucky
derby in Louisville, Kentucky. This week California Chrome is headed to the Preakness Stakes in Baltimore for a chance to
win the second leg of the Triple Crown and the Woodlawn Vase trophy. Well, a
replica of the original Woodlawn Vase that is, because the real four-million
dollar Tiffany trophy actually resides in an Art Museum full time, and not even
the winner of the Preakness Stakes is allowed to take the real trophy home. How
do like that.
