Working class has its day

SHAKOPEE, Minn. - There is more than $650,000 at stake Saturday in the seventh annual Claiming Crown.

For the men and women who have converged on Canterbury Park in suburban Minneapolis, there is the opportunity to prove to the racing public that there are capable horsemen out there besides guys named Frankel, Pletcher, or Dutrow.

There also is the matter of regional pride, as horses have come from a wide range of racing circuits for the seven-race series.

"Let me tell you about northern California," said an adamant Art Sherman, who will run Desert Boom as a prime contender in the program anchor, the $150,000 Claiming Crown Jewel. "Horses can go anywhere from there and win."
