It’s unknown whether New York will allow it, and a decision would not be made until Chrome’s trainers make a formal request.

Could a chance for the first Triple Crown winner since 1978 (Affirmed) be denied because of nasal strips?

Thoughts? Should California Chrome be allowed to wear a nasal strip for the Belmont?
