#QuestForTheCrown ....Today in the News Weekend Edition Part 1 6/7/2014:

Opening Statement:
Later today we find out if history is made with California Chrome attempting to become only the 12th Triple Crown Winner. One fact I heard yesterday was the other 11 to win have all started in the 2nd spot where California Chrome is starting.

I don't know if he will win but I get the strong feeling he will. The Hype machine not only locally but on a national level is on overload. It's hard not to get caught up in it though. Ken and Dave have really brought some GREAT photos and videos and stories along his journey.

I'm excited to see what Ken and Dave bring us today so with that said let's find out what took Place Today in the News.....  NY Ken 5

Good Day Nutshell

Recap:
7am:
Leading off Cody and Amy are dressed in their Derby Hats for today's running of the Belmont Stakes. Today's Show us Yours is Hats and the #GDSJustCurious Question was The last movie that. Ken will be in New York all morning reporting on all things California Chrome and Belmont Stakes. Cambi was with former Good Day reporter turned trainer recreating the Obama workout. Christianne was at Cal Expo checking out how they are preparing and participating in today's Belmont Stakes. Tina was in Sacramento previewing the Croatian Extravaganza.

8am:
One of the BEST moments on Good Day took place this hour. Ken gave California Chrome Owner Perry Martin a ride to his destination. Ken even played Metallica in the car for Perry who loves the band. Cambi was at Gunther's Ice Cream for National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. Christianne was at Cal Expo learning how to make the California Chrome drink. Tina was at Yiayia’s Treasure Pre-Sale. Finally Dawson's Restaurant was in studio talking about Grape Escape taking place tonight.

9am:
While we are still on cloud 9 from last hour with Ken giving a ride to Perry Cody introduced us to Mike Amaral’s California Beach Boys tribute band who sounded very good. Christianne was in Yuba City checking out The Cookie Tree and the orders for California Chrome. Amy was on the Catwalk with Phoebe aka Dress Fiend for hats. Plus she Phoebe now has an online store.Cambi was checking out Doggy Dash. Tina was with Elk Grove High School Grad and current Chicago Bear Lance Briggs at his football camp.

10am:
In this hour Cambi continued from Doggy Dash. Tina was at the Strump Shop Anniversary Party where she talked to Dani and had her sing. Ken continued reporting from New York at the Belmont. Beach Boy Tribute Band Played once again. Dr.Dre celebrates the same birthday as California Chrome. Blake Mori talked about his new Wimzr app to connect with others. Melissa showed Fathers Day Gift Ideas and Christianne was at Yuba City watch party for California Chrome.

Final Thoughts:
Riding in the Car with Ken:
One of the absolute BEST moments in the nearly 19 years of the show came today when California Chrome owner Perry Martin got a ride with Ken and Dave so he didn't have to walk to his destination. Ken, Perry and Dave loaded in the car while playing Metallica which is one of Perry's favorites. Once they got to the restricted area Ken took it further by telling the gentleman he had California Chromes owner in the car. The man allowed Ken to go right on through. My words do not do enough justice to the story so please watch the video above and see this GREAT moment.

I Scream You Scream:
We all scream for chocolate ice cream or at least Cambi did today on Good Day from Gunther's Ice Cream which is legendary in this town for Chocolate Ice Cream Day.

Catwalk:
Today our favorite Fashion Blogger was in studio with some models for Carabba on the Catwalk Hat edition. Phoebe aka The Dress Fiend also now has an online store for all of to shop at.

Lance Briggs Camping:
Elk Grove High School Native and current Chicago Bear Lance Briggs is in town for his Annual Football Camp and today on Good Day Tina was there once again trying to tackle Lance. This year she caused a fumble

Beach Boys Tribute:
If you love Surfing music then head to Woodland Opera House tonight to see Mike Amaral’s California Beach Boys Tribute Band. They are by far one of the better bands to play Beach Boy Music that are not the Beach Boys. The only thing missing was John Stamos way down in Kokomo.

Good Day Nutshell:
Cambi was with our old friend Angel working out like Obama. Okay actually if he went to see Angel he would have worked out better and harder like Cambi did today.

Cambi headed to the Doggy Dash after she got her fill of Chocolate Ice Cream at Gunther's. The Doggy Dash is a fun place to take your dog if they love to run and do fun activities.

Tina was checking out the Croatian Extravaganza in Sacramento before heading to the YiaYia's Treasure sale to see what they had to offer and who is was benefiting.

Following the race tonight head down to Grape Escape where you can eat, drink and meet Mark and Tina. Tons of restaurants are taking place like Dawson's in Sacramento who came into studio today.

We learned of a new app that connects people with others from out of town called Wimzr today on the show.

If you need some Fathers Day gift ideas check out the list above and see what you can find.

California Chrome:
Over the last 3 days Ken and Camera Guy Dave have been giving us GREAT coverage of California Chrome and the Belmont Stakes. I for one want to say thank you to both Ken and Dave for doing such a GREAT job. Yesterday we got to meet the race announcer Tom Durkin, got a tour of the Silks room, where the jockeys relax and play games. Today we got to see the track and the party going on, and of course the one on one interview with Perry Martin.

Christianne showed us all the GREAT things to do at Cal Expo and the California Chrome cocktail before showing us The Cookie Tree and the California Chrome cookie and of course the street party taking place in Yuba City as they prepare for a Triple Crown.

So Thank you to everyone for the GREAT coverage this week. Lets bring home the Triple Crown.  NY Ken 7 NY Ken 9 cal chrome 1
