Trainer Art Sherman, who had been considering working California Chrome before or between races at Santa Anita Sunday, instead will work the California-bred son of Lucky Pulpit at 8 a.m. tomorrow at his Los Alamitos headquarters.

“He’ll work five-eighths and Victor (Espinoza) will come over to ride him,” said Sherman, who plans to enter the California Cup Derby winner in the Grade II San Felipe Stakes that will be run a week from today.

Other San Felipe probables include Bayern (Gary Stevens), Midnight Hawk (Mike Smith), Kristo (Joel Rosario), Unstoppable Colby (Luis Saez), Recanted (Mario Gutierrez) and Rprettyboyfloyd (no rider).

David Hofmans is considering the race for Schoolofhardrocks, whose lone start resulted in a maiden win at Del Mar last August, and Home Run Kitten, a son of Kitten’s Joy who ran fifth in the Grade II Robert B. Lewis Stakes on Feb. 8.
