Going from a conditioned allowance race to the classic 10f Travers is a patient progression?
Make no mistake, if Arrogate didn't have physical issues as a 2yo he would have likely been another TC burnout.
By the way, who are all these NY-based rush jobs? A comparable horse to Arrogate last year was Connect, who actually got in a minor stakes start prior to the Travers.
