Juddmonte Farms' GI Breeders' Cup Classic hero and 'TDN Rising Star' Arrogate (Unbridled's Song) breezed seven furlongs in 1:24.80 Wednesday morning at Santa Anita Park with jockey Martin Garcia at the controls. The gray colt clicked off fractions of :24, :36, :47.40, :59.80 and 1:12, then was out the mile in 1:39.60.
Romping winner of the GI Travers S. in his penultimate trip to the races, Arrogate outdueled California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit) by a half-length in the Classic and could use the Jan. 1 GII San Pasqual S. as a prep for the $12-million GI Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park Jan. 28, though trainer Bob Baffert has yet to commit to a next start. The Pegasus is also expected to mark the career finale for California Chrome.
“I'm still on the fence as to what to do with him,” the conditioner told the Santa Anita press team Wednesday prior to Arrogate's work.
