Bookmaker.eu was currently offering the very best payout odds on California Chrome to win the 2016 Breeders Cup Classic.
Bookmaker had California Chrome at +115 odds compared to nearly all other books offering him at EVEN or worse. The payout would be $11.50 for every $10 bet or $110 for every $100 bet.
His stiffest competition is believed to be Arrogate at +240 for a payout potential of $24 on each $10 bet.
California Chrome finished third in the Classic two years ago at the end of his 3-year-old season.
"He only got beaten a neck, but he wasn't at his best mentally," trainer Art Sherman said of Chrome's previous Classic run. "He shipped around a lot that year and went through the Triple Crown races. There's such a difference between how he's coming into this year's Classic and then.
"Now he's got his game face on when he gets to the paddock. He's all business; he knows what he has to do. He brings his `A' game. Chrome is bigger and stronger than ever. The way he runs now, he's become a push button horse; he'll do whatever Victor asks of him," Sherman said.
