No. I still think she is the best horse. But I also conceded that there isn't evidence on my side to support me. This performance by Arrogate was spectacular and it would have taken an even more incredible performance to beat him, the kind that we have rarely seen over the past 30 years. Does that make Arrogate the best 3yo ever? I'm not ready to proclaim that so I'll say that one race doesn't automatically make him the best of this year either. My only point was that minus him, she rates well with everyone else that was in that race yesterday so I don't think it was outlandish to suggest that she could.
