The article they wrote in Bloodhorse about it got all kinds of nasty snark from people who blamed all kinds of things like East Coast bias and it was just ridiculous. It's a fact, he's not a blue blood. Nice looking horse though. Hope wherever he ends up he gets a shot. Grandsons of Pulpit won all 3 legs of the TC. Pretty impressive. Tonalist has more of a stallion's pedigree though, but blue collar horses have gone on to make their get into blue bloods so I'll root for Chrome like I rooted for Tiznow. That worked out just fine.

Luckily for race fans, breeding is depressed right now. And with CCS lack of pedigree on top of most people going to the tried and true horses, there won't be much in the way of offers in my opinion.
Give him a break, and we'll see him again hopefully sooner rather than later.
The horse didn't seem to be flagging, instead he seemed to thrive from racing, so I hope he won't be gone long. Lots of good races in his future I think.
