Los Alamitos, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Eclipse Award contender California Chrome went to the track Friday morning at Los Alamitos for a workout ahead of a 2015 campaign. The Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner worked a half-mile in 49 seconds with his regular rider Victor Espinoza in the saddle. The chestnut colt, trained by Art Sherman, will start in the $500,000 San Antonio Stakes at Santa Anita on Feb. 7. It was just what we were looking for, said Alan Sherman, Arts son and assistant. Owned by Steve Coburn and Perry Martin, California Chrome made a successful turf racing debut in the 1 1/8-mile Hollywood Derby on Nov. 29 at Del Mar. Hes such a favorite with everybody. It makes me feel good to know I can run him on the grass. Just another option, Art Sherman noted after the victory. California Chrome finished third in the Breeders Cup Classic on Nov. 1 just a neck behind winner Bayern and runner-up Toast of New York. Early this year he posted three straight wins at Santa Anita in the California Cup Derby, San Felipe Stakes and Santa Anita Derby before taking the first two legs of the Triple Crown. He was fourth in the Belmont Stakes and sixth to Bayern in the $1 million Pennsylvania Derby at Parx Racing on Sept. 20. California Chrome has banked $4,222,650 from 16 career starts with nine wins.

Hopefully this year we will be better," Brendan Gallagher said after practice. This year, the Canadiens have a little more depth to work with by adding players like Daniel Briere, Dale Weise, Mike Weaver, Douglas Murray and arguably, the biggest addition to this playoff roster, Thomas Vanek, who the Canadiens were able to land at the trade deadline.

Teams one through twenty competing in Englands top flight are each fatally flawed. A wide-open, highly competitive and mistake-filled season has followed.BOSTON -- By the end of the Stanley Cup final, the Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins seemed to have more players dealing with substantial injuries than not. Bruins centre Patrice Bergeron had a broken rib, torn cartilage and muscles in his ribs and a separated shoulder, while the Blackhawks celebrated their Cup victory after Game 6 amid a litany of problems. Bryan Bickell suffered a Grade 2 knee sprain at the end of the Western Conference final, Marian Hossa played through a bad back, Michal Handzus had hand and knee problems and Jonathan Toews got his "bell rung," according to coach Joel Quenneville. "We were pretty smooth coming into the finals," Quenneville said. "We exited the L.A. series and Bick probably shouldnt have played a game in this series. After Game 3 he looked like he was back to normal, which was big for us, and Hossa was kind of banged-up and Johnny coming into this game banged-up. And were not talking about the rest of the crew. The resiliency all year long of finding ways and the depth I think was one (thing) that made it so special for us." Handzus, 36, was the first player to receive the Cup after Toews. That place was well-earned beyond his NHL experience. "He had more issues than anybody," Quenneville said. "He had a bad hand, he had a bad knee, he had old age. He had a lot of things going on." Bickells knee problem should have sidelined him three to four weeks, said Quenneville, who only broke up his line with Toews and Conn Smythe Trrophy-winner Patrick Kane to ease pressure on the injured winger.dddddddddddd There was no easing up on Bergeron, who left Game 5 with injury but managed to get onto the ice for Game 6 in Boston. He said that was thanks to a lot of help from the medical staff. "Everyones banged up, everyone wants to help the team and obviously I couldnt do that in Game 5," Bergeron said. "It was mostly because they were worried about my spleen being hurt, so thats why we had to go to the hospital. But everything was fine so it was just the ribs, and the muscles, and the soft tissue. So obviously I wouldve liked to stay in it but I was going through a lot of pain." Bruins right-winger Jaromir Jagr was in and out of Game 6 with an undisclosed injury, and right-winger Nathan Horton dealt with a suspected shoulder injury all series. Defenceman Zdeno Chara was rendered ineffective as the final went on, but that was also because he was hurt. "Zdeno is one of those players that unfortunately was not 100 per cent," coach Claude Julien said. "So he battled through it." More injury information will likely come out in the coming days, but Julien wasnt willing to disclose too much after his teams elimination. "This not a time to make excuses. Theyve got injuries, too," he said. "As the series went on, talking about since the start of the Stanley Cup, we had some injuries. Its hard to keep guys out. They want to play through it, and some guys were able to do that." ' ' '
