(Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Your Golden State Warriors have a new head coach. Yesterday, reports surfaced that the team was hiring Steve Kerr — a decorated player and current TV analyst with no coaching experience. As \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/warriors/2014/05/14/steve-kerr-golden-state-head-coach-joe-lacob-mark-jackson/9104855/\" target=\"_blank\">USA Today's Sam Amick points out\u003c/a>, that all sounds surprisingly similar to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/golden-state-warriors-fire-coach-mark-jackson\" target=\"_blank\">recently ousted Mark Jackson\u003c/a>, who was fired last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Kerr's coaching résumé looks exactly the same as Jackson's did when Warriors owner Joe Lacob gave him his first chance back in 2011. And that is why, as Lacob sees it, this all makes perfect sense in the weirdest of ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Look, we did pretty well with Mark Jackson,\" Lacob told USA TODAY Sports by phone, his statement thick with irony but strangely logical. \"In the end, it wasn't working out, which only we can probably totally appreciate on the inside.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>That not-so-veiled jab is in reference to the apparent rift between Jackson and team management that eventually led to his firing. Speaking to USA Today, Lacob added:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I get that (people) see the win total, and they think that's all that matters. But we have an organization that's 200 people, and everyone has to get along and work together and that's just the way it worked out. ... We went out and we wanted to find the best guy to lead this team to the next level.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Kerr's agreeable personality was a major selling point to Warriors management as they \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/21/new-warriors-stadium-mission-bay/\" target=\"_blank\">prepare to move into their Mission Bay home in 2018\u003c/a>. He agreed to a five-year deal worth $25 million, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in the NBA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 15-year NBA veteran, Kerr made his mark as a sharpshooting role player for the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls, winning three NBA championships with the team before moving to the San Antonio Spurs, where he won another two titles before retiring after the 2002-2003 season. He then moved to the front office, serving as general manager of the Phoenix Suns for three seasons from 2007-2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move elicited words like \"Stunner,\" \"Shocker\" and \"Spurned.\" The latter referred to the New York Knicks's attempts to lure Kerr, whose longtime coach, Phil Jackson, has taken over the reins. The deal was thought to be a foregone conclusion, until the Warriors swooped in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NBA.com's David Aldridge, who broke the story on Twitter Wednesday, had this to say about \u003ca href=\"http://www.nba.com/2014/news/features/david_aldridge/05/14/kerr-aldridge-warriors-coach/index.html?ls=nbahpsplit1\" target=\"_blank\">Kerr's decision to spurn the Knicks and his former coach\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Kerr, 48, was Jackson's first and only choice to replace Mike Woodson, and for the last couple of weeks, everything pointed toward Kerr joining Jackson, now the Knicks' president of basketball operations, in New York. But Kerr was overwhelmed by the Warriors' talent base, their west coast address and a last-minute pilgrimage the team's brain trust made to Oklahoma City on Monday to change his mind.\u003cbr>\n\"It just felt like the right move on many levels,\" Kerr said by phone Wednesday. \"They have a good young team. The location is ideal. My daughter goes to Cal and plays volleyball. My oldest son is in college in San Diego and our youngest is a junior in high school. It's just a short flight for them.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Ultimately, it was agonizing to say no to Phil because of what I think of him and what he's done for my career,\" said Kerr, who won three titles playing for Jackson in Chicago with the Bulls. \"When Phil Jackson asks you to coach the Knicks, how do you say no? I think they're going to turn it around, but going to be a big undertaking and it's going to take time. The idea of doing that 3,000 miles from home, it just didn't feel right...I told Phil, 'I think I have to pursue this other opportunity,' Kerr said. \"He gave me his blessing. He said go look at it, and do what was in my heart.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Warriors posted a cut-up of several interviews of Kerr talking about the team over the last few years, as well as comment from star guard Stephen Curry calling Kerr one of the best shooters of all time. The opportunity to coach a talented young team was clearly appealing to Kerr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38Fn-BYLlqY?rel=0&w=640&h=360]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What do you think, Warriors fans?

(Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Your Golden State Warriors have a new head coach. Yesterday, reports surfaced that the team was hiring Steve Kerr — a decorated player and current TV analyst with no coaching experience. As \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/warriors/2014/05/14/steve-kerr-golden-state-head-coach-joe-lacob-mark-jackson/9104855/\" target=\"_blank\">USA Today's Sam Amick points out\u003c/a>, that all sounds surprisingly similar to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/golden-state-warriors-fire-coach-mark-jackson\" target=\"_blank\">recently ousted Mark Jackson\u003c/a>, who was fired last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Kerr's coaching résumé looks exactly the same as Jackson's did when Warriors owner Joe Lacob gave him his first chance back in 2011. And that is why, as Lacob sees it, this all makes perfect sense in the weirdest of ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Look, we did pretty well with Mark Jackson,\" Lacob told USA TODAY Sports by phone, his statement thick with irony but strangely logical. \"In the end, it wasn't working out, which only we can probably totally appreciate on the inside.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>That not-so-veiled jab is in reference to the apparent rift between Jackson and team management that eventually led to his firing. Speaking to USA Today, Lacob added:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I get that (people) see the win total, and they think that's all that matters. But we have an organization that's 200 people, and everyone has to get along and work together and that's just the way it worked out. ... We went out and we wanted to find the best guy to lead this team to the next level.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Kerr's agreeable personality was a major selling point to Warriors management as they \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/21/new-warriors-stadium-mission-bay/\" target=\"_blank\">prepare to move into their Mission Bay home in 2018\u003c/a>. He agreed to a five-year deal worth $25 million, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in the NBA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 15-year NBA veteran, Kerr made his mark as a sharpshooting role player for the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls, winning three NBA championships with the team before moving to the San Antonio Spurs, where he won another two titles before retiring after the 2002-2003 season. He then moved to the front office, serving as general manager of the Phoenix Suns for three seasons from 2007-2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move elicited words like \"Stunner,\" \"Shocker\" and \"Spurned.\" The latter referred to the New York Knicks's attempts to lure Kerr, whose longtime coach, Phil Jackson, has taken over the reins. The deal was thought to be a foregone conclusion, until the Warriors swooped in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But Kerr was overwhelmed by the Warriors' talent base, their west coast address and a last-minute pilgrimage the team's brain trust made to Oklahoma City on Monday to change his mind.\u003cbr>\n\"It just felt like the right move on many levels,\" Kerr said by phone Wednesday. \"They have a good young team. The location is ideal. My daughter goes to Cal and plays volleyball. My oldest son is in college in San Diego and our youngest is a junior in high school. It's just a short flight for them.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Ultimately, it was agonizing to say no to Phil because of what I think of him and what he's done for my career,\" said Kerr, who won three titles playing for Jackson in Chicago with the Bulls. \"When Phil Jackson asks you to coach the Knicks, how do you say no? I think they're going to turn it around, but going to be a big undertaking and it's going to take time. The idea of doing that 3,000 miles from home, it just didn't feel right...I told Phil, 'I think I have to pursue this other opportunity,' Kerr said. \"He gave me his blessing. He said go look at it, and do what was in my heart.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Warriors posted a cut-up of several interviews of Kerr talking about the team over the last few years, as well as comment from star guard Stephen Curry calling Kerr one of the best shooters of all time. The opportunity to coach a talented young team was clearly appealing to Kerr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/38Fn-BYLlqY?rel=0'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/38Fn-BYLlqY?rel=0'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What do you think, Warriors fans?

Stiviano, in which he disparaged African-Americans and made one racist remark after another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four days later, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling for life and fined him $2.5 million. It seemed like things might settle down a bit after that. But not anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s an account of the interview from The Associated Press:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LOS ANGELES — An interview that was supposed to be an attempt at rehabilitation instead had Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling facing fresh rebukes as he went from apologizing for recent racist remarks to slamming Magic Johnson, repeatedly bringing up the ex-NBA star’s HIV status and calling him an unfit role model for children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s got AIDS!” Sterling said loudly at one point in the interview, cutting off CNN’s Anderson Cooper as the interviewer attempted to cite Johnson’s accomplishments after Sterling asked, “What has he done, big Magic Johnson, what has he done?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The comments earned Sterling quick condemnation from the league that was already trying to rid itself of the owner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commissioner Adam Silver, who gave Sterling a lifetime ban and $2.5 million fine two weeks ago, issued a statement saying, “while Magic Johnson doesn’t need me to, I feel compelled on behalf of the NBA family to apologize to him that he continues to be dragged into this situation and be degraded by such a malicious and personal attack.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The NBA Board of Governors is continuing with its process to remove Mr. Sterling as expeditiously as possible,” the commissioner added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sterling’s estranged wife, Shelley Sterling, watched her husband’s interview and told NBC’s “Today” show that he may be losing his mental faculties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s not the man I know, or I knew,” she said. “There’s something wrong. I really think, personally, he has dementia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think it happened overnight. I think it’s been happening, but nobody really knew the reason. I mean, he gets crazy, and yells, and screams, and hollers one moment. The next moment he’ll … talk about something else. I mean it’s like nothing makes sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson, who is scheduled to appear on Cooper’s show to reply on Tuesday, wrote on his Twitter account that “I’d rather be talking about these great NBA Playoffs than Donald Sterling’s interview.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson later Tweeted, “After this week, no more Sterling talk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sterling changed course briefly during the interview to call Johnson “a good person,” but soon resumed his criticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He acts so holy,” Sterling said. “He made love to every girl in every city in America, and he had AIDS, and when he had those AIDS, I went to my synagogue and I prayed for him, I hope he could live and be well.

Cavendish, the winner of more than 120 races and individual stages in his career, moved alongside German rider John Degenkolb, who was hanging on to the lead after moving to the front about 300 meters from the finish line. (The video above, \u003ca href=\"http://www.steephill.tv/tour-of-california/\" target=\"_blank\">from steephill.tv\u003c/a> shows the last few miles of the race; fast forward to 5:45 for the final kilometer of the action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Here comes the Manx Missile!\" shouted NBC Sports race announcer Phil Liggett. \"But has he got the legs?

Cavendish managed to throw his bike across the line and won by the width of a tire and a little more. But it was so close that neither of the men who contested the sprint was sure who won. So instead of \u003ca href=\"http://www.bicycling.co.za/race-news/tour-de-france/tour-features/bizarre-victory-salutes/6/\" target=\"_blank\">arms thrown in the air, pumped fists, baby-rocking, bow-drawing, or any of the other victory celebrations we usually see\u003c/a>, we got a picture of two exhausted cyclists waiting for the official finish-line photo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final minutes of the race call by Liggett and Paul Sherwen — assisted by retired race veteran Christian Vande Velde — featured one moment of pure Sherwen poetry. Here, he describes the plight of a breakaway rider, Kiel Reijnen, fighting to stay away from the peloton as the stage entered its final stretch:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sherwen:\u003c/strong> It's a long, hard ride here. The next time he comes up to the line he should hear the bell indicating one lap to go. And that will be sweet music to his ears, but the pain in his legs will still be singing out to him, 'Please stop, please give me a break.' But you can't, when you're in a situation like this, you've got to give it everything, you can't look back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can see, if you look back down the road there, you can start to see that black mass of the main field, waiting like a hawk in the sky, waiting to come out of the sun and pounce on their prey, and they will spit him out of the back of that main field as if he was nothing at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vande Velde: \u003c/strong>I really hope not ...\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's the Associated Press write-up on Sunday's opening stage:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By Antonio Gonzalez\u003cbr>\nAssociated Press\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SACRAMENTO — Mark Cavendish has more than 100 wins around the world, including 25 stages in the Tour de France, but he never had a victory like the one he had Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135653\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 426px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/489626653.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-135653\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/489626653-640x425.jpg\" alt=\"Mark Cavendish, left, edges ahead of John Degenkolb, right, at finish of the first stage of the Tour of California in Sacramento on Sunday.

The two raced shoulder-to-shoulder as Cavendish came up along the right side and edged Degenkolb by the width of a tire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was so close that neither rider celebrated until learning the results, which were confirmed by photos, though Degenkolb looked dejected waiting for the final word. After the results were announced, he congratulated Cavendish with a heartbreaking hug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I knew that I lost,\" said Degenkolb, a German riding for Team Giant-Shimano. \"Sometimes it's really just 1 or 2 centimeters, but normally you feel it straight away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cavendish completed the 120-mile stage in 4 hours, 44 minutes, 7 seconds for the Omega Pharma-Quick Step Cycling Team. Moreno Hofland of the Netherlands and Belkin Pro Cycling was third. Slovak sprinter Peter Sagan, who has dominated Tour of California sprints the last several years and won a record 10 stages, got buried in the pack and finished fifth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The longest stage of the eight-day, 720-mile journey through California's eclectic climates came down to a drama-filled finishing stretch just steps away from the state Capitol — and even then it took a minute to know who actually won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the bell rang for one lap to go around the tree-lined downtown circuit, the teams of the big sprinters pulled to the front. Cavendish appeared to wait too long to attack — and had to work harder after teammate Mark Renshaw recovered from a punctured tire — before finally getting free and churning his legs for a powerful closing burst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He rode along the right of Degenkolb and lowered his helmet to the line.

Jackson, who recently completed his third season as head coach of the team, guided the Warriors to a 51-31 record this season and a combined 121-109 record (.526) during his tenure in the Bay Area. Jackson was named the 24th head coach in the team's West Coast history on June 6, 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s never easy to make a decision of this nature,” said General Manager Bob Myers. “Mark has accomplished many good things during his three years with the organization, including his role in helping elevate this team into a better position than it was when he arrived nearly 36 months ago. We’re appreciative of his dedication and commitment since his arrival and are extremely grateful for his contributions. However, as an organization, we simply feel it’s best to move in a different direction at this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mark Jackson has had a big impact on the improvement of our team and the success that we’ve had over the last couple of years,” said Owner & CEO Joe Lacob. “Nonetheless, we must make some difficult decisions in our day-to-day operations of the club and this would certainly qualify as one of those examples. We wish Mark the best of luck in his future endeavors and thank him for his contributions over the last three years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson, 49, became just the third head coach in franchise history to lead a team to at least 50 wins in a season, joining Don Nelson and Alvin Attles, who both posted 50-win seasons twice with the Warriors. With 121 regular-season victories overall, Jackson ranks fourth on the franchise’s all-time wins list, trailing Attles (557), Nelson (422) and Eddie Gottlieb (263). Additionally, the 98 regular-season wins posted over the last two seasons (51 in 2013-14 & 47 in 2012-13) represent the Warriors best two-year stretch since the team posted 99 victories combined in the 1990-91 (44) and 1991-92 (55) seasons, which was also the last time Golden State made consecutive postseason appearances.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Jackson, who recently completed his third season as head coach of the team, guided the Warriors to a 51-31 record this season and a combined 121-109 record (.526) during his tenure in the Bay Area. Jackson was named the 24th head coach in the team's West Coast history on June 6, 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s never easy to make a decision of this nature,” said General Manager Bob Myers. “Mark has accomplished many good things during his three years with the organization, including his role in helping elevate this team into a better position than it was when he arrived nearly 36 months ago. We’re appreciative of his dedication and commitment since his arrival and are extremely grateful for his contributions. However, as an organization, we simply feel it’s best to move in a different direction at this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mark Jackson has had a big impact on the improvement of our team and the success that we’ve had over the last couple of years,” said Owner & CEO Joe Lacob. “Nonetheless, we must make some difficult decisions in our day-to-day operations of the club and this would certainly qualify as one of those examples. We wish Mark the best of luck in his future endeavors and thank him for his contributions over the last three years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson, 49, became just the third head coach in franchise history to lead a team to at least 50 wins in a season, joining Don Nelson and Alvin Attles, who both posted 50-win seasons twice with the Warriors. With 121 regular-season victories overall, Jackson ranks fourth on the franchise’s all-time wins list, trailing Attles (557), Nelson (422) and Eddie Gottlieb (263). Additionally, the 98 regular-season wins posted over the last two seasons (51 in 2013-14 & 47 in 2012-13) represent the Warriors best two-year stretch since the team posted 99 victories combined in the 1990-91 (44) and 1991-92 (55) seasons, which was also the last time Golden State made consecutive postseason appearances.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

People’s Park is deeply rooted in Berkeley’s history, having been created by community members in the 1960s.

Today, the park is a daytime sanctuary for Berkeley’s homeless population.

People’s Park is deeply rooted in Berkeley’s history, having been created by community members in the 1960s. It was the scene of a major confrontation between student protesters and police in May 1969. Former Berkeley Barb photographer Harold Adler, who shot the People's Park riots, brought prints of his photographs to the anniversary event. Today, the park is a daytime sanctuary for Berkeley’s homeless population. Confrontations and crimes are a regular occurrence and there is a constituency, including many local merchants on Telegraph Avenue, that would like to see the area change.

How he was born at Harris Farms, several miles north of the stinky cattle operation off Interstate 5 in the Central Valley. How he came from cheap horses and his trainer is 77 years old and has never had a Derby starter. How his owners decided to call themselves Dumb Ass Partners.

The last was Decidedly in 1962. (The others are Morvich in 1922 and Swaps in 1955.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>He’s training at a track for quarter horses south of L.A. That’s like running Formula One cars with NASCAR cars.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>His dam (mom) cost $8,000. The top broodmare in the country cost $4.2 million when she last sold in 2002.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Perry Martin and Steve Coburn paid a $2,500 stud fee for Lucky Pulpit at Harris Farms in Coalinga. The top stud in Kentucky (Tapit) costs $150,000.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Chrome’s trainer, 77-year-old Art Sherman, has never entered a horse in the Derby. The top trainer in the country, Todd Pletcher, has run 36. Currently, he’s bringing four.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>California Chrome has four white feet, long considered bad luck.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Dumb Ass Partners is a name that probably shouldn’t be in the history books.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>I went to the former McClellan Air Force Base outside Sacramento to meet co-owner Martin, of Yuba City. Turns out he’s also from Chicago and got hooked on racehorses at Arlington Park when he was 16.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I loved the track,” Martin said. “I wasn’t supposed to bet. You’re supposed to be 18 but I was big enough and had a mustache, so they let me bet. I never won a lot but it was a blast. When I got a license I drove myself out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin’s first date with his wife was taking her to a racetrack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple years ago he decided to take his savings and get into the racehorse business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now I don’t bet on other horses anymore,” he said. “It’s not as fun as owning your own horse, your own sports franchise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin met Steve Coburn, and they agreed to buy Love the Chase for $8,000. She gave birth to California Chrome, and both families fell in love with him. “After we got the call he was born, we drove for two hours and he was already up and running around his mom when we got there. He was handled by people right from the start. He’s a people horse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They named him by having a waitress draw from a bunch of names they put in a hat. (Perry had submitted “Seabizquick.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I also loved the sport itself: how the need for luck unites the lowliest backstretch worker and the wealthiest horse owner at post time.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>They were so nuts about him that last spring when the Las Vegas winter book opened up, allowing gamblers to wager early on the May 3 Kentucky Derby, Martin sent his 24-year-old daughter on a mission to Vegas with $500 to bet on their horse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has this cute baby face, and all these guys were saying, ‘You don’t want to bet on this Cal-bred.’ And she said, 'He’s \u003cem>my\u003c/em> horse!' She got odds of 275-1,\" Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin is a big man, deliberate and thoughtful. He fully believed when he bred Love the Chase to Lucky Pulpit that he was picking winning bloodlines. As he heads to Kentucky with his family and friends, he believes his horse will prove he’s the best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The battle here is putting together the right team. We have the right team now. We have an old-school trainer, we went on old-school breeding. We have a good jockey, who’s not just in the moment but also thinking 50 jumps ahead,” Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chrome’s jockey, Victor Espinoza, is the only one of Chrome’s team who has Derby experience. In 2002 he was selected at the last minute to ride a horse named War Emblem. That year Saudi Prince Ahmed bin Salman reportedly spent a million to buy War Emblem ahead of the Derby. He was quoted as wanting to win the race that badly. They did win. (A ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, bought a Derby horse this year named Cairo Prince. He got injured and is out of the race.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Espinoza said riding California Chrome this year is very different: “More pressure. I know the horse and the people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I went to the stable at Los Alamitos (Orange County) one morning to talk to the team and see California Chrome, a TV crew mounted a small camera on the chest of Willie Delgado, who exercises Chrome in the mornings. Another crew had put one on his helmet the morning before. They are all trying to capture what it looks like, what it feels like, to be on a horse running that fast. I’ve always wished I could have ridden a horse in a race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why I got on that filly at Arlington Park back in the day. I made it once around the track that morning. My arms were too weak to even pull her up. A pony rider had to catch us and bring her to a stop. That was embarrassing enough. But when I dismounted at the barn, my legs were so weak that my knees buckled and I fell on my butt in front of the stable folks. Everyone got a big chuckle out of that. My jockey friend was kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That’s what happens to everyone the first time,\" he said, grinning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133953\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/RS9903_IMG_5109-lpr.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-133953 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/RS9903_IMG_5109-lpr-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"California Chrome was born in the Central Valley near I-5, and his mother cost only $8,000.

The last was Decidedly in 1962. (The others are Morvich in 1922 and Swaps in 1955.)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>He’s training at a track for quarter horses south of L.A. That’s like running Formula One cars with NASCAR cars.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>His dam (mom) cost $8,000. The top broodmare in the country cost $4.2 million when she last sold in 2002.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Perry Martin and Steve Coburn paid a $2,500 stud fee for Lucky Pulpit at Harris Farms in Coalinga. The top stud in Kentucky (Tapit) costs $150,000.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Chrome’s trainer, 77-year-old Art Sherman, has never entered a horse in the Derby. The top trainer in the country, Todd Pletcher, has run 36. Currently, he’s bringing four.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>California Chrome has four white feet, long considered bad luck.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Dumb Ass Partners is a name that probably shouldn’t be in the history books.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>I went to the former McClellan Air Force Base outside Sacramento to meet co-owner Martin, of Yuba City. Turns out he’s also from Chicago and got hooked on racehorses at Arlington Park when he was 16.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I loved the track,” Martin said. “I wasn’t supposed to bet. You’re supposed to be 18 but I was big enough and had a mustache, so they let me bet. I never won a lot but it was a blast. When I got a license I drove myself out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin’s first date with his wife was taking her to a racetrack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple years ago he decided to take his savings and get into the racehorse business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now I don’t bet on other horses anymore,” he said. “It’s not as fun as owning your own horse, your own sports franchise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin met Steve Coburn, and they agreed to buy Love the Chase for $8,000. She gave birth to California Chrome, and both families fell in love with him. “After we got the call he was born, we drove for two hours and he was already up and running around his mom when we got there. He was handled by people right from the start. He’s a people horse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They named him by having a waitress draw from a bunch of names they put in a hat. (Perry had submitted “Seabizquick.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I also loved the sport itself: how the need for luck unites the lowliest backstretch worker and the wealthiest horse owner at post time.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>They were so nuts about him that last spring when the Las Vegas winter book opened up, allowing gamblers to wager early on the May 3 Kentucky Derby, Martin sent his 24-year-old daughter on a mission to Vegas with $500 to bet on their horse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has this cute baby face, and all these guys were saying, ‘You don’t want to bet on this Cal-bred.’ And she said, 'He’s \u003cem>my\u003c/em> horse!' She got odds of 275-1,\" Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin is a big man, deliberate and thoughtful. He fully believed when he bred Love the Chase to Lucky Pulpit that he was picking winning bloodlines. As he heads to Kentucky with his family and friends, he believes his horse will prove he’s the best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The battle here is putting together the right team. We have the right team now. We have an old-school trainer, we went on old-school breeding. We have a good jockey, who’s not just in the moment but also thinking 50 jumps ahead,” Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chrome’s jockey, Victor Espinoza, is the only one of Chrome’s team who has Derby experience. In 2002 he was selected at the last minute to ride a horse named War Emblem. That year Saudi Prince Ahmed bin Salman reportedly spent a million to buy War Emblem ahead of the Derby. He was quoted as wanting to win the race that badly. They did win. (A ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, bought a Derby horse this year named Cairo Prince. He got injured and is out of the race.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Espinoza said riding California Chrome this year is very different: “More pressure. I know the horse and the people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I went to the stable at Los Alamitos (Orange County) one morning to talk to the team and see California Chrome, a TV crew mounted a small camera on the chest of Willie Delgado, who exercises Chrome in the mornings. Another crew had put one on his helmet the morning before. They are all trying to capture what it looks like, what it feels like, to be on a horse running that fast. I’ve always wished I could have ridden a horse in a race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why I got on that filly at Arlington Park back in the day. I made it once around the track that morning. My arms were too weak to even pull her up. A pony rider had to catch us and bring her to a stop. That was embarrassing enough. But when I dismounted at the barn, my legs were so weak that my knees buckled and I fell on my butt in front of the stable folks. Everyone got a big chuckle out of that. My jockey friend was kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
