Arrogate Gives Juddmonte Third Eclipse of Evening

Juddmonte Farms' Arrogate (Unbridled's Song) has been named Eclipse champion 3-year-old male. A virtual unknown when the year began, Arrogate announced his arrival on the big stage with an historic win in the GI Travers S., thrashing a solid field by 13 1/2 lengths while lowering General Assembly's 10-furlong track record time of 2:00 set in 1979 to 1:59.36. The gray colt grittily ran down champion California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit) in deep stretch to conclude his 2016 campaign with a half-length victory in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic. Arrogate received 243 first-place votes, while Exaggerator (Curlin) and Nyquist (Uncle Mo) received two and Gun Runner (Candy Ride {Arg}) one.
