[RHT2004]

I know.
He jogs. I honestly and truly expect an improvement/move forward from the Travers. And when this happens even Chrome won't have a prayer.

Don't count CC out, he is a fighter and won't give up easily.

You keep saying this over and over and Chrome keeps dusting you. When Chrome beats him into the ground do you promise to stop this?

Arrogate, his travers is better than any race chrome has run. If he can duplicate that race, it will be next to impossible for him to get beat. It's a huge if though.

I want to see him do that same race when he has to accelerate past a good horse rather than grinding on the front end and then skipping away.

He can do it but at 7/2...meh

Arrogate is a nice horse don't get me wrong but only one graded win over a pretty mediocre 3 year old crop on a very fast track that day. I don't like the layoff either but who knows on that. 7-2 is not for me. Chrome has looked very solid.
