LONDON // Bob Baffert has revealed that Arrogate will not contest the Dubai World Cup in March after the American trainer’s stable star was announced as the world’s best horse on Tuesday.
Arrogate and California Chrome were confirmed as the top two horses in the world ahead of their epic clash in Saturday’s Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park.
Arrogate’s narrow victory over California Chrome in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita in November, when the pair pulled over 10 lengths clear of Pegasus rival Keen Ice, was also rated as the best performance in the world in 2016.
As a result of that titanic tussle, the Classic was announced as the world’s best race in 2016, and the opportunity to transform Arrogate into the first horse to win back-to-back Classics since Tiznow in 2001 at Del Mar in November is the ultimate aim.
