Pete,
Chrome doesn't belong in the same sentence as Arrogate. Nor does the "bad trip" that Chrome had compared to what Arrogate had.
Hyperbole "in the moment" a dangerous thing, but Arrogate MUCH the best horse I have ever seen, which covers late 70's to now.
Gun Runner a solid horse with solid figures, who got a dream trip right off a 99-1 shot, while Arrogate didn't leave the gate and was wide throughout. Yet, Arrogate ran right by him like he was tied to the rail. Geroux claimed after the race that Gun Runner had another gear and kicked in at the top of the stretch, but Arrogate just too good. His stride was widening again late, despite the wide trip.
Crazy stuff.
Not sure how you beat this horse if he didn't get beat today.
Jim
