RIP Arrogate, gone much too soon. I was fortunate enough to have been in attendance at Saratoga for this legendary performance. The crowd was stunned silent by the way the race unfolded; I don't think anyone in NY really knew much about Arrogate then, having been a west coast horse that had never even competed in a Stakes race before this, nevermind graded company...and he blew away the field in record time. Absolutely stunning.
I did I singled Arrogate I was all over Arrogate Big Baffert fan I couldn’t believe he was 11-1 Baffert is the Greatest pace of the race is the key to any race Speed rules Bullet Bob
Arrogate foi o único cavalo que me fez lembrar do lendário Secretariat em Kentucky Derby. iniciando em último lugar para chegar em primeiro. O tempo foi de 1:59:40!! Record.. Arrogate 1: 59,36 !! czcams.com/video/SB5eTuV5Hq0/video.html
@@TR-vr5pz I’ve seen the replay of the race many times and yes Secretariat’s Belmont win is special but I wasn’t alive back then. I did watch this race live and without a doubt nothing before 2004 or after this race has come close to this.
I was as impressed as anyone with California Chrome's performance in the Pacific Classic, and by some of Frosted's performances this season, but this colt has got a lethal turn of foot and looks scary good. He set fractions in the Travers that had half the field looking like they needed oxygen by the time the field went past the 3/4 pole, and after setting hair raising fractions, he opened up on the Travers field at his own leisure like it was nothing. Mike Smith was simply luggage for Arrogate in the Travers. Imagine the problems Arrogate could potentially cause the older horses in the Classic if he ran back to anything near this good again to go along with the weight for age break he'll get at Santa Anita. Just sayin.......it's something to consider!
And being Arcangelo’s daddy, I had a hefty pay day at Belmont. Rest in peace Arrogate you are a legend on the track and possibly also already as a Sire.
Top 3 races in my 28 year lifetime Arrogate Travers 1. Calidoscopio Brooklyn 2. Rich Strike kentucky derby 3 This was a powerhouse performance never saw one like it. Other 2 races were miracle crazy wild wins lol.
I'm so conflicted about Arrogate. During his winning streak of 4 G1s, I came to think he was the only dirt horse I had seen -- along with Spectacular Bid -- who "might" be as good as Secretariat. And Arrogate remains among my top 10 ten favorite racehorses -- the ones I've rooted for the hardest -- which is a different thing than ranking him being amont the greatest. But then he finished up a short career with 3 straight losses, 2 of them embarrassing performances. Psychological burnout? Did he just despise Del Mar? Even before the questions came up about Baffert, I was ambivalent about Arrogate making the Hall of Fame based on performance in four races. And even before the questions came up about Baffert, I was opposed to Justify, with a 6-race "career," no wins against older horses, and (so far as I can remember) no wins against horses as good as Chrome or Gun Runner, going into the Hall of Fame. The best horse I can remember Justify beating was Shaman Ghost. I've long thought too much emphasis is put on the Triple Crown. As things stand now, I don't think either Arrogate or Justify deserves the Hall of Fame. Prediction: Arrogate won't make it. Justify will. I will be disgusted the day Justify does. But if Arrogate does make it, I'll be ambivalently gratified.
@marysueeasteregg Arrogate was never the same after Dubai. Apparently he lost 90 lbs after Dubai and his grooms said he wasn't the same horse after. Bob Baffert said himself (love him or hate him he has alot of experience around racehorses) said that after Dubai he didn't want to run anymore. But Baffert himself said that Arrogate was the most talented horse he ever trained, but that he simply lost interest in racing after Dubai. I heard someone else say he hit his head on the gate in Dubai and was a nervous wreck after. I don't know if that is true or not, but the fact remains Arrogate was not the same horse after Dubai for some reason. However, his level of talent for his 4 famous races is almost unprecedented.
maybe so... but in the entire history of the Travers... nobody has ever run it faster...... when every horse starts out.. you could say they also came out of nowhere. Arrogate has proven himself.
rip handsome arrogate. you left this earth way too soon. i am so sorry . i know you were watching from horse heaven as your amazing son arcangelo won the same race a couple of weeks ago here in 2023.
Baffert had this one primed and ready for sure....the man is an excellent horseman and Arrogate crushed at 11-1 overlooked with a new track record !!!!!
Got going with a long-timer handicapper at Saratoga this summer, around August 4th. He said, "Especially with Baffert. That 's.o.b.. [he said it, I didn't!], if he's got two horses in the same race, dang [euphemism] if the longer-odds of the two doesn't always win!" I took his advice in this race. Whomever you are, my friend, thank you for the rarest gift bestowed at racetracks: advice that pans out.
Wow! Didn't see that coming! In terms of the way he destroyed the field and setting the track record! Will be a major threat in the Breeders Cup Classic!
+paul patane Lol. I believe u are right about that with Songbird! Or maybe Arrogate? Btw, let me know when these donkeys get to the 16th pole! Wow. Alot of no show performances today in this race

Im glad I wasnt losing my mind. GOV Malibu went off at 7-1. The morning line of 12-1 made no sense. horse ran a traffic filled Belmont and 2nd place finish in Dandy and was 12-1. uhhh. He ran okay today,made a move on turn. i think Clement will put him on the turf.
So Frosted and Arrogate on the lead in the Breeders Cup? Also, curious to know why Mike Smith rode Arrogate all the way through the finish line and beyond. Was he teaching Arrogate how to finish a race for the future?
Yeah, that was a little odd. I also wondered why Mike Smith pushed Arrogate so hard when he was ten lengths in front and the wire was approaching. I don't know if he knew the track record was within reach or if he teaching him to finish a race like you said, but it was a bit quizzical.
To answer you. Smith said that he never ran through the wire in his previous races, and was geared down. This time they wanted him to run through the wire.
Feel bad for Arrogate...His Trainer had him DOPED UP out of his Mind...This why so many Top Horses trained by Baffert hit a Sudden BRICK WALL out of nowhere and can not perform the same way anymore...At least racing FINALLY is trying to do something about this DISGUSTING Trainer
Well stated, its a shame what happened to this horse. The dope plus the eacort provided by the jockey on Baffert's other entry American Freedom made Arrogate win look far better then it actually was
Speaking of the great Secretariat, the previous owner of the fastest Travers ever was his son General Assembly, who set the record at 2 minutes flat in 1979.
Still can't believe that Gun Runner could not get 2nd ! Cost me a bunch of money for the exacta. Gun Runner that year gave me fits ! I had flashbacks to another frustrating horse who never really got the money when it counted. Gate Dancer 😁
didn't frosted broke the record at Saratoga and a couple other broke records that day too, I'm not surprise if it's the track, frosted came back and lost, against a grade 3 runner up, just another horse that won't hit the board on BCC DAY
Bob's three year old boys, in particular, are the best around for my money. From Silver Charm to Arrogate with a couple of all-time greats in between like Pharoah and Point Given. Dortmund had a heck of a three year old season, losing only to Pharoah. Another staple of Bob's stable is that his boys are typically big and muscular. Todd Pletcher usually goes home with the Eclipse Award but there's no one better than Bob.
I think people are getting a little ahead of themselves. Yeah, this was a historic performance, no doubt about it. But it was just one race. We still need to see if Arrogate is a consistent racehorse against top competition or if he throws in the occasional head-scratching clunker as many do. We also need to see if he can run away on any track during any weather condition. Can he look a horse in the eye every step down the stretch and have the heart and will to stay in front to the bitter end? And there's the issue of soundness. We all know Unbridled's Song wasn't the soundest of colts. Arrogate has to be kept injury-free. He's being asked to grow up awfully quickly in the span of just a few months. This performance proves he can run fast and far, but will he do it continuously? We don't know that yet. One thing I really don't want to see is Arrogate winning the BCC, running in the Clark or something to try to win HOY and then be sold for a zillion dollars and retired before we ever really got to know him. That would leave a bad taste in everyone's mouths.
I do not think California Chrome would beat Arrogate with this performance on Breeder's cup.They should not run 2 champions in the same race. We know one will win.
uh what? That makes no sense at all.... how does a champion become a champion if they don't race against the best there is? You want to make a horse Horse of the Year because he/she consistently beats allowance horses????Good grief...
Come oooon. You know that almost every record time came as a horse was 3 years old. It is not right an old, tired 50 years old man race against a 23 years old. That is it.
RIP amazing four races, some of the most impressive runs you’ll ever see.
Ran like Secretariat for 4 races, legend!
Yes, but the horse was highly likely on PED's.
