Wow. I think i have heard it all now. The same people that defend Songbird question Arrogate??
Sure American Pharoah won the TC, but other then his Classic what other race makes him even competitive with Arrogates 4 big races?

I probably need to be working instead of this but to be clear here I stated AP's 2015 run was one of the greats. No horse in over 30 years passed that gauntlet of races. His breeders cup win was equal to Arrogates in my opinion although the hardest thing in this sport is comparing races as there are too many variables. That's what makes betting fun. I too would have loved to see him run at 4 and beat up Chrome. I never said he was the greatest. I'm not a songbird lover at all but I give the horse its due as it wins the races its in. As for Arrogate I stated it ran some very strong races but I'm a fan of horse that run and compete more often. To each his own as I go back to the grind of work.

If Arrogate doesn't win another race, is Arrogate truly better than even Pleasantly Perfect?
