Game Winner should do fine if he is good enough.

Your points are well taken, but as far as the 2017 Dubai World Cup goes, I would counter that despite Arrogate spotting the field 2-3 lengths coming out of the gate, Gun Runner was still unable to capitalize.
I think that says more about Gun Runner's stamina than it does about Arrogate's perceived greatness.
Certainly Arrogate's subsequent performances appear to support that contention.
