All good fellas. Arrogate holds the track record at Saratoga. In the Travers no less. He beat better older horses in dirt in the BC Classic than Big Red did. Who lost to Onion and Prove Out on two different occasions. Taking The Wood Memorial off to prep for the Derby can be excused.
Everyone has a right to get defensive about this argument. Coming off his 2YO season Big Red had the hype and expectation of Triple Crown and delivered in brilliant unforgettable fashion. But those 2 losses to Onion and Prove Out can't be wiped from the record either. His Turf brilliance perhaps helps put a line through them....
