Can we move all the posts from the other thread over here ? argh
Its about time for his own thread.
Fun fact
Looking at Arrogates pedigree brought me to Meadow Star.
!,500,000. million dollor winner in the late eighties.
Big Hair......
Big hair.....
remember the Eighties?....I loved big hair....
I always did laundry...just something I always did. Those shoulder pads used to drive me crazy...I could never figure out which went to which and would have a mess....lol
I`m not knocking Frosted. He`s a horse that I regularly play and have been rewarded and disappointed as is the way in horse racing. i just dont think this is an ideal place for him or his trainer. So if I have decided that no known American can beat him, why do I feel a sense of foreboding? Could it be Found?
Its my belief right now , that Aiden is playing to a particular race scenario. He thinks he see`s the same race shape that brought keen ice a grade 1 win, catching a tired and low oxygen American Pharo. Because the same fear had gripped me, I find it revealing.
But who is going to provide the relentless fractions.
Arrogate is an unknown. Lightly raced, yet coming off a performance that will be talked about for years. Its not like we havent seen those kind of performances before. Many oldtimers talk of some great races of the past that werent repeated, but there are a few from the near past. Constitution at gulfstream....social inclusion in that whatever, dang I cant remember the race. Both those races were careers.
can Arrogate repeat that performance ? everyone wants to know.
I was watching the above workout, and thinking about Mor spirit, but watching Arrogate. At first I wasnt really that impressed, yet there was something. Maybe the turn of foot.....cant teach that
Maybe it was the targeting...cant teach that
Then I got it.
Can you see how low he gets, eating up ground...getting faster, getting lower...Thats a dude with heart and style.
Theres a lot of work to do discovering this new shooter for chrome. Lots of old times spent with Unbridled, lots of time with Unbridleds Song.
One thing they used to say....Pure talent?...like nothing ever seen...I`m going to have fun revisiting some of the old articles. Feel the day gone like it was today. If I find something fun I will share it with you.
I`m starting to lean going.
Fascinating article about Arrogate and his missing teeth!

Arrogate just getting started
By Jay Privman Daily Racing Form 09/02/2016
DEL MAR, Calif. – A few days after Arrogate arrived back at Del Mar following his victory last Saturday in the Travers Stakes at Saratoga, trainer Bob Baffert brought him out of his stall to show visitors. Baffert joked that Arrogate was “the fastest horse in the world,” then got out a measuring stick to see how tall Arrogate currently stood – just over 16-2 hands, if you’re scoring at home – before remarking about Arrogate’s steel-gray coat, “He looks a lot like Spectacular Bid.”
