. >> reporter: and his human hat victor espinoza. is california crohn that horse? my fingers. >> reporter: with california chrome on the east coast awaiting the belmont stakes espinoza got in top form on the west coast. his routine is strict. building his muscles to control the horse and building his lungs so he can go the distance. but much of his training centers around riding other horses so he can stay on the top of his game. do you figure out pretty quickly if you guys have a good feel for each other. >> yes, yes. >> reporter: he said with california chrome, the bond was instant. >> i let him know i'm in control. i'm the boss. he has to do what i say. >> reporter: now espinoza is one victory away from history a harrowing position he knows all too well. you've been in this spot before, one win away from the triple crown, what happened in 2002? >> everything went wrong is what happened. >> reporter: at the belmont stakes, his horse war emblem stumbled out of the gate. >> he's lucky to stay on him as a matter of fact. >> everything went away in a tenth of a secon

little bit of concern there as he was beginning the first turn, but it looks like the jockey victor espinozae and we will see if he can hang on. >> we will see if he can hang on. you're looking at live pictures from california chrome's hometown there coming to us from our affiliate kx-tv. a lot of hopefuls there hoping this is the horse that can make history and be the horse that will win the triple crown for the first time in 36 years. laura, 12 attempts since the last win to make this happen. are you hopeful? >> i'm definitely hopeful. i think this would be great for the sport of horse racing. i think this is something that everybody wants to see. so many people are watching this belmont stakes because they want to see california chrome. they might not watch otherwise. it's a great thing all around if he is able to pull it off. either way he has drawn a lot of attention to a sport that might have considered by some to be a dying brand. >> steve, what do you make of it this time? you say this is a good horse, not a great horse yet. we will see in maybe about a minute. >> less than a minute.

jordan, when i saw this many coming down the stretch and california chrome did have a lane and victor espinozaipping him really hard and he didn't move at all and i'm like he doesn't have anything left in the tank, he does not have the ener energy. steve coburn, this is all what it's about. it's about nadal winning when the body is tired, lebron winning last night when the body is tired. that's what california chrome has to do and this is why winning the triple crown is one of the hardest things to do in all of sports. >> absolutely. gray. i was upset with his comments but i do sympathize. people wanted the own to be more graceful in defeat. since 1978, to his point, we have not seen a triple crown winner. we've seen 12 horses win the first two legs and go on to lose the third. nine times in the belmont, the horse had only run the belmont. so it was a fresh horse. so you begin to understand why he's frustrated. but you can't go on and change it because it's now devaluing what's happened before. this is why it is so hard to win. nothing's changed since then. affirm won it in '78. it's been 36 y

this is california chrome out for his morning trot with jockey victor espinoza.d one since firmed in 1978. if chrome wins that could be a huge payday for his owners. in addition to the 800,000 first place purse, the value after such a drought could be oaks poe tphep exponential. his price could double off the track as a stud. betters believe chrome could do this tomorrow. odds overwhelmingly in his favor. some folks are placing bets just for a piece of history in case it becomes collectible. it should exceed more than a million dollars. companies are placing their own bets. skechers is sponsoring chrome itself. belmont races with a triple crown hopeful typically pulling 40% more attendees and tv ratings boost. we usually see it double with these hopefuls. guys, back to you. >> it's great. great for nbc. maybe it will happen. but it's a longer track. >> i want to tell you about a tweet. an adult doing that crime would be arrested. a parent and child should be the same. heck, i saved judith here a fortune with discounts like safe driver, multi-car, paperless. you m
