DEL MAR, Calif. -- It wasnt long after California Chrome worked Saturday morning at Los Alamitos that trainer Art Shermans phone rang at Del Mar. His son, Alan, was quite excited on the other end.He called right after the work, said Sherman, who was looking after the horses he has stabled here at Del Mar. He said he went really well.California Chrome, just 14 days after his runner-up effort behind Arrogate in the Breeders Cup Classic, worked a half-mile on Saturday, officially in 48.40 seconds. Russell Hudak, the head clocker at Los Alamitos, had California Chrome going his opening quarter in 25.20 seconds, and three furlongs in 36.80 seconds, meaning he finished his final quarter in 23.20 seconds, and final eighth in 11.60 seconds. As usual, exercise rider Dihigi Gladney was aboard.Everything went great, Alan Sherman said by telephone. He finished up really well.Art Sherman usually doesnt miss any of California Chromes works. But he had a cataract removed from his right eye on Tuesday, and thought driving up to Los Alamitos from his home in Rancho Bernardo -- which is much closer to Del Mar -- wasnt prudent quite yet. Sherman said he would be at Los Alamitos for California Chromes next workout, next Saturday.California Chrome is scheduled to make his final start in the $12 million Pegasus at Gulfstream on Jan. 28 before going to stud at Taylor Made Farm in Kentucky.Sherman said he hopes to get California Chrome a prep race before that, and has spoken to Ed Allred -- owner of Los Alamitos -- about putting on a race Dec. 17, closing weekend of that tracks upcoming two-week Thoroughbred meet.Sherman has a direct pipeline to Allred, since he trains horses for Allred.Instead of having to keep working [California Chrome] and working him, Id love to run him, and December 17 would be perfect timing, Sherman said. Theyre gonna try to make it happen.California Chrome has been stabled at Los Alamitos for three years; Sherman said hed like to run the horse once there.For the people at Los Alamitos, the people in Cypress and Orange County, I think theyd love to see him, Sherman said. Its the home of the Chrome.If California Chrome does run at Los Alamitos, Sherman said, he would plan on going to Gulfstream Park about 10 days prior to the Pegasus. The Eclipse Awards are at Gulfstream on Jan. 21, and California Chrome is a cinch to be named champion older male horse on dirt, and is the front-runner for Horse of the Year.Wed go in and gallop, school him in the paddock, maybe blow him out the middle of the week, Sherman said.

PITTSBURGH -- Francisco Liriano doesnt believe hes lost his stuff so much as hes misplaced it. The search to find it over the last few weeks sent the veteran Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher to the bullpen for lengthy sessions with pitching coach Ray Searage.Judging by the way he overpowered the Milwaukee Brewers for two occasionally brilliant hours on Thursday night, Liriano appears to be on the right path.His fastball dipping and darting like a bug trying to avoid a fly swatter, Liriano struck out a season-high 13 without issuing a walk over 6 2/3 innings as the Pirates edged the Brewers 5-3.Everything was around the plate, not way down and way up, Liriano said.Something thats been an issue most of the season. Liriano entered the game having allowed a major-league high 62 base on balls. The Brewers didnt work a free pass once as Liriano (6-9) generated some serious momentum in his bid to bounce back from a forgettable first half.The slider was electric, the changeup was disappearing, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. No walks (and) 13 punchouts. Really good stuff. Really good composure. Very good tempo.Following three effective seasons at the top of the Pittsburgh rotation, 2016 has been a challenge for the 32-year-old. Liriano went more than six weeks without a victory, a stretch that ended with a win in Oakland on July 3. He backed it up with better command in a loss to Washington last week, providing a glimpse that he was starting to figure things out.I thought he had great stuff tonight, he really did, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said of Liriano. Thats the best weve seen him in a while, for sure.Lirianos only mistake through the first six innings came on Jonathan Villars solo home run into the Milwaukee bullpen in the third. Liriano struck out the side in the sixth but was removed in the seventh following an RBI double by Perez and an RBI groundout by Scooter Gennett.Mark Melancon bounced back from consecutive blown saves to retire the side in order in the ninth for his 28th save.IN A PINCHMatt Joyce smacked a three-run homer in the first inning off Matt Garza (1-4) and later added an RBI groundout. Not bad for a player who didnt know he was playing until outfielder Starling Marte came down with flu-like symptoms a half-hour before the first pitch.Hes kind of like a fiireman, hes ready to go, Hurdle said.ddddddddddddJoyce did his best to cram for Garza -- a former teammate when both played in Tampa Bay -- but felt a bit rushed heading into the on-deck circle with two on and one out in the first. He took a couple of extra deep breaths to calm down and smacked a pitch from Garza into the seats in right field to put the Pirates up 3-0.When they ring the bell, youve got to go, Joyce said.Gregory Polanco finished with two hits for the Pirates. Andrew McCutchen went 2 for 3 to snap out of a 1-for-16 funk.BREW CREWVillar hit his seventh home run of the season. Hernan Perez added two hits for Milwaukee, which fell to 17-31 away from Miller Park, the second-worst road mark in the National League. Garza dropped his fourth straight decision, allowing five runs, four earned, in five innings with two walks and three strikeouts.I can go deep, I like to keep pitching, Garza said. You put your team in a hole and you cant do that. You just keep going and keep believing. Its there. Ive seen it. I saw it and felt it today. Its a good step. I know what Ive got to do.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: Pitching prospect Adrian Houser underwent Tommy John surgery on his right arm Thursday and will miss at least the next 12 months.
