Heard it on the radio live. Wow....someone said it was the best effort he has ever seen....and then ? Said he just passed secretariat Yikes Can't wait to watch
I thought for sure that Arrogate was done for at the start. I should have never doubt Arrogate and Mike Smith. This horse is truly Unbelievable with the best yet to come. Not to mention a clean sweep for the Americans with Gun Runner finishing second and Neolithic finishing third.
Ok, I just went over the moon with excitement seeing one of the greatest racehorses of my time win the World Cup. Every time I see Arrogate my jaw just drops over his built. Every inch of his body screams power.
So many times we talk about horses being unfortunate to be born in the same year as another champion (i.e. Sham / Secretariat ), well it's unfortunate that California Chrome was born in the same decade of Arrogate! CC had hardly anytime to bask in the public glory before being upstaged by Arrogate in money won, overwhelming victories, and anticipation of what is to come.
Backing up to the UAE... The late nomination of Thunder Snow was a total give away for this race and I was rewarded playing three underneath including the Japanese epi... Unlike other years, this race could prove to be forward moving and I thought both will become better off this effort. I'll look closely at Thunder Snow as he prepares for the Derby.
This wonderful picture of a new filly and her loving mom was posted in Foal Watch. The mare's name (Zarkava) rang a bell with me, and I checked my notes from today and sure enough her 2013 colt, Zarak, ran in the Dubai Turf today. He came in 4th.

cnnsportHH Sheikh Mohammad, Ruler of Dubai spoke to #CNNWinningPost presenter, @AlyVance at the #DubaiWorldCup meeting at Meydan. He says he has plans on making the Dubai World Cup the richest horse race in the world again. January’s Pegasus World Cup in Florida eclipsed Dubai with a prize fund of $12 million, $2 million more that Dubai, but Sheikh Mohammad says that will be rectified! #horseracing
