I don't know what the competitor's numbers look like, but I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up that Arrogate's triple pair up all took place as the only two turn race of the day on the day they were run. Not uncommon on that coast, and becoming more common on this side as well. Anyway, I'm guessing services that don't change track speed for two turn races will have had him faster.
I did have two questions for TG surrounding this regarding Arrogate and My Man Sam. As My Man Sam's last race was the only two turn race of that day, a neck loss to 4yo Tale of Verve. Were the numbers given to Arrogate and My Man Sam for each of their last races tied to prior performances? Arrogate already had a pair of numbers to tie to, and My Man Sam came back to his Blue Grass number.
