Perry and Denise Martin, who, with Steve and Carolyn Coburn, own the colt who won the Kentucky Derby on May 3, were to skip the Preakness, the second leg of the Triple Crown series.
The Martins had booked their trip to Baltimore but canceled at the last minute to stay home in Yuba City, Calif. They own a laboratory in Sacramento that tests safety equipment like air bags and landing gear, and, the Coburns said, the Martins have fallen behind in their work because of California Chrome’s success.
“When he won the San Felipe, we were getting a lot of press,” Carolyn Coburn said. “And then he won the Santa Anita Derby, and we were getting more press. So it was like a month before the Derby, and we had people coming and calling, and he has a business.” - NY Times
