I feel like I should start an alternate Bring Chrome Home page. Like throw as many wacky conspiracy theories out there as possible, and see how many I can get people to believe.
(except not really, because these people are absolutely nuts and one of them would probably feel compelled to “free” chrome from his stall in the middle of the night or something)

If you start it I will volunteer to be an admin! I need something to keep my brain occupied while watching dogs all day and night. I suggest calling it He’s Home, STFU already.

We could post updates like:
Chrome’s poo was very runny this morning. Could it be that someone slipped something in his feed? I’M NOT ACCUSING PERRY MARTIN OF ANYTHING BUT SOMEONE NEEDS TO ASK THE QUESTION!!!111!!!11!!
or
some potential buyers came by this morning, from Japan. They spent a lot of time poking Chrome’s hindquarters and shoulder muscles
I don’t get it. I wish I could post the history of Silver Charm to these people, because California Chrome is following almost the same path. Both won the Kentucky Derby / Preakness. Both were shipped (the same way 
) to Dubai and ran in the Dubai World Cup. Chrome placed second, Silver Charm won. Silver Charm stood at Three Chimneys and then was exported to Japan, and now is back in KY at Old Friends. It looks like CC will follow a pretty similar path. These ‘telepathic pony communicators’ only have a link to CC, which is suspect to their telepathic abilities; Silver Charm would be setting them straight. As a sidenote, I’d love to see them use their telepathy on my pony mare. She would send them crying back home in utter humiliation.

Hahahah! This is perfect, I volunteer too! We can post photos of the sheikh’s private plane interior and insist that America’s Horse, the Most Famous Horse In The World Who Needs Security At Crosswalks Because He Is Like The Beatles, should have been flown first class ‘again’. Complete with champagne in hoof, sleep mask, on demand movies, and sexy flight attendants of course.
Is anyone who isn’t banned able to post the Google results for Taylor Made Farm (and by extension, American Pharoah while he was there) to the BCH page? I’d love to see the results of that. But of course American Pharoah is not Chrome, America’s Bestest Best Horse Ever.
Is there anyone out there who isn’t banned who would like to cut and paste this on their thread–and see how long it takes to be banned also? There is more than a shred of truth in this essay.

Whee. There IS an alternative page to balance all of the craziness. Thank you to one of the crazies on BCH for mentioning it.
It’s either been removed or it’s the wrong address 
Edit: I lied. It won’t come up on my computer, but comes up fine on my phone. ???
Edit again: This page is HILARIOUS. In the good way! I loved this post: “OMG OMG American Pharoah and Dortmund’s ribs are showing!! Call the emergency number for the humane society!! This is really serious!! (My favorite BCH line.) Why are they starving these poor horses? Someone needs to be sued!!” And of course their post thanking Perry Martin for getting CC to where he is. I could imagine some BCHers spontaneously combusting. It puts me in a good mood to see some common sense.

Your spelling and grammar are way too good, though. Most of the Chromies seem to be borderline illiterate.
ETA:
“correction noted! I bet your a teacher! I dont like typos or misused words either, wish i wouldn’t have made that mistake!”
I BET YOUR A TEACHER! I DONT LIKE TYPOS…
both pages linked say “Page not available”… boo!!
BCH meltdown coming in 10… 9… 8…
As per DRF.com…
California Chrome bound for Kentucky, will go to stud or race in 2016
California Chrome is bound for Kentucky later this week, with a new owner in the partnership and the possibility of a start in 2016, trainer Art Sherman said on Wednesday.
California Chrome was diagnosed with a bruised cannon bone last Sunday while stabled at Arlington Park, an injury that will require a 90-day rest. Sherman said that California Chrome will be sent to Taylor Made Farms in Nicholasville, Ky., for his recuperation, and that Taylor Made has bought the minority share of the 4-year-old colt previously held by Steve Coburn.
Coburn and majority owner Perry Martin bred California Chrome and have owned him through his career.
Sherman said that California Chrome will either enter stud in 2016, or could be returned to racing. The 2014 Horse of the Year, California Chrome has won 9 of 18 starts and earned $6,322,650.
More information, including thoughts of Sherman, will be available later Wednesday on DRF.com
Oh boy!
Interesting.
I assume that Coburn and Martin still own the full three siblings together in the partnership - for the moment anyway.
And the final post on the Coburns of California Chrome FB page. A couple of commenters in response did note the change of ownership.
Due to several incidences of people bashing not only ourselves but other Chrome fans for their opinions, we have decided that we need to remove this page from Facebook. We apologize to those that follow us and Chrome, however we think this is best for all involved. The page will be removed this afternoon. Thank you for loving Chrome and for your understanding on the matter.
Nuclear meltdown in three…two…
I sure hope they dissolve the partnership completely so we don’t have to go through this over and over.
Let’s see how quick they start bashing the Coburns…
WHAT?! I thought Steve would NEVER sell his share of Chrome! He LOVES him SO much!
why would the coburns want to do that?they are chromes family & the ones that care for his well being & chrome loves them!

Coburns have been slinging mud over there, encouraging the psychos and lighting fires everywhere… and yet claim they are the victims??? Unbelievable. Unprofessional. Self-serving…
Oh MAN. I need to start popping popcorn NOW.
The victimized Coburns have undoubtedly been well paid for their share of the partnership sold to TM, so I’m curious how they’ll spin this one.
LOL, they are stunned that the Coburns sold their shares. They were so certain that the Coburns were going to buy the Martins out. Also, they are so upset he is going to Taylor Made (which looks like a nice place to me). So glad the Coburns are out of it. Hopefully no more info can be leaked to the crazies. What are the crazies going to do now that the saintly Coburn is not in the mix anymore???
Pfft. I’m sure they could spin it that Martin bullied them into it amIrite? :rolleyes:
Or they could just keep quiet and enjoy retirement. Maybe the partnership could even be dissolved amicably with 2 horses going to the Martins (say, Hope’s Love and the dam) and the younger two going to the Coburns who could sell them at auction for some more money and not have to worry about looking like clowns on tv ever again.
And Taylor Made has the PR group that can handle Martin. Win-win for everyone.
Except the “poor” heartbroken cray-cray fans.
