The throat blister heard 'round the world:
California Chrome has a small blister in his throat, which Alan Sherman, Art Sherman’s son and top assistant, described as a pimple. He said it appeared before the Derby, went down after treatment, and came back this week.
The California Chrome camp was relaxed and jovial, a day after they revealed that California Chrome was being treated for a very small blister in his throat.

Alan Sherman, Art’s son and top assistant, on Friday morning said California Chrome "is fine, his throat is fine."
