Arrogate is Going Down....

[Silver Charm]

In the record books. $17M in earnings is one good way to start. Who needs Track Records with that right. But he does have one of those at Saratoga, at a mile and quarter, in the Travers no less.

Someone who would be in the know told me this horse has enough air capacity that he could run forever. He has speed, but it sustainable speed. Which if you look at his PP\'s and some of his final quarters etc they may be nearly as fast as the opening quarter. This isn\'t supposed to happen on dirt and almost always doesn\'t.....

Incredible late money action in the double says anybody but Arrogate. Maybe a good time to jump?

[jerry]

Of the 644K in the show pool, $633K is on Arrogate. Still 20 minutes to post.

He may have just set a World Record for the Big Minus Show Pool burned up

[jerry]

Really bizarre. Double prices with Arrogate doubled in the last tick while all of the other horses double prices were at least halved. Inquiry?

[cruzm73]

The ex/tri/Pic 3 all seem too small for Arrogate completely out??

[jerry]

Nothing here folks. Move along.

I smell a rat, too. I had the 4 to place and show since I saw the bridge jumping, so I\'m happy. but the vertical and horizontal exotics seem very light.

The 1 horse was slammed late in the win pool also. And who would believe that in what was a 4 horse field with one runner losing his irons Arrogate burns $1.3M in the Show Pool.

I think it was the Russians....😁😲

Show prices were light too. And all of this was very late money and a lot of it. If I ever go to California I\'m leaving my wallet at home.

Stuff happens.

Scherzer gave up 3 bombs in the first inning Friday night, sometimes Curry tosses up nothing but bricks. The Patriots have been known to lose a game or 2.

And sometimes great horses lay an egg.

Off a layoff, not cranked up, at less than his preferred distance. It happens.

For me, Arrogates performance is just as much of a disappointment as Cali Chrome was in Peg World Cup. That was overshadowed by Arrogates win but similar scenario. Nobody saw Chrome running THAT bad that day.

[jerry]

Stuff does happen. Sometimes for all the wrong reasons. The wagering on that race was irregular. Something happened.

[jerry]

I\'m not saying there was anything irregular about Arrogate laying an egg. I\'m just saying that in the last minute of wagering on the 8th race someone bet a lot of money into the double pools on just that event happening. It was last tick money and all of it went on everyone other than Arrogate. That\'s what\'s irregular.

Ot maybe for all the right reasons.

\"Off a layoff, not cranked up, at less than his preferred distance. It happens.\"

I know a few people that hammered the winner pretty good, and it had nothing to do with anything suspicious. Their data really liked the winner and they also gave the reasons I just mentioned.

I think you\'re grasping at straws if you think it was because of some kind of funny business. Possible, but unlikely.
