Victor Espinoza is expecting a new and improved version of California Chrome in

2016. Unraced since a runner-up in the Dubai World Cup (G1) last March, the

2014 Horse of the Year is gearing up for his comeback in the January 9 San

Pasqual (G2) at Santa Anita.

Unbeaten

Mohaymen, a top contender for the 2016 Kentucky Derby (G1) following wins in the

Remsen (G2) and Nashua (G2), returned to the worktab on Thursday, breezing a

half-mile in :49.45 at Palm Meadows. A $2.2 million yearling purchase, the

Kiaran McLaughlin-trained Tapit colt is scheduled to make his 3-year-old bow in

the January 30 Holy Bull (G2) at Gulfstream Park.

Also at the Twin Spires Blog, Ed DeRosa provides his Eclipse Award ballot:

"Valuing Breeders' Cup Victories in Close Eclipse Contests."

Dick Powell explains in his weekly Handicapping Insights column why

American Pharoah made for a great year in horse racing.
