At least we can confirm that this was a mediocre field.

It was a deep field that got trounced to two supe-horses.

Pharoah easily at the moment, just on body of work. But Arrogate has immense potential, I don't think we have seen his best yet, he could be a monster. I hope he stays sound.

I'd take Pharoah because he had more speed, enough stamina, and was also still developing rapidly. But Arrogate is freaky to be doing what he is doing after such a brief campaign. We should all be praying he stays healthy and comes back next year.

if this were something like swimming
American Pharoah = talented , perfectly efficient, highly trained, 6'2 210lbs of muscle or whatever a perfectly balanced swimmer is considered to be
Arrogate = Michael Phelps

No it wasn't. It was two really good mile and a quarter horses and nothing else.

Your never going to here the connections say that, but AP never ran a race as good as Arrogates last two, and he never beat a horse as good as California Chrome (yesterdays classic version at least).

How cool would it have been if Arrogate had come along differently and Baffert ended up training back-to-back Triple Crown winners?

How cool would it have been if Arrogate was born in 2012 and not 2013? Arrogate instead of Dortmund facing AP!
