Default Arrogate . . . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May be the best performance by any race horse in history, arguably but that was simply AMAZING!!! Always the question of who did he beat. I think he's beaten the best horses on dirt that the world has to offer. US comes in 1-2-3, again. I want to see the splits, with a very bad start, like War Chant's stretch run in the Breeders Cup 2001, I think.

THRILLED AND LUCKY TO WITNESS HISTORY UNFOLDING

Arrogate is not an animal like we say Usin Bolt isn't human. From dead last to first is one thing, but look at the distance when he actually made his move...That's impossible.

:26 3/5
:23
:23 4/5
:24 3/5
:23 4/5

Last split at 26 3/5 but then Smith was quoted as saying he geared Arrogate down. He looked as if he could have gone around again and still won in grand fashion. My heart was literally pounding watching him just gobble up the ground and win. He's other-worldly.

Agree with Ruffian, what a super fantastic race for Mind Your Biscuits. I love that boy.

Default Mind Your Biscuits

Interesting Background of HOW MIND YOUR BISCUITS got his NAME!
From A Country Song!

As A Songwriter / Lyricist Myself
These Words Are Worthy Of Living Life By!
Profound Philosophical Wisdom!

Biscuits
Kacey Musgraves

Taking down your neighbor won't take you any higher
I burned my own damn finger pokin' someone else's fire
I've never gotten taller makin' someone else feel small
If you ain't got nothin' nice to say don't say nothin' at all

Just hoe your own row and raise your own babies
Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies
Mend your own fences and own your own crazy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy

Nobody's perfect, we've all lost and we've all lied
Most of us have cheated, the rest of us have tried
The holiest of holies even slip from time to time
We've all got dirty laundry hangin' on the line

Pourin' salt in my sugar won't make yours any sweeter
Pissin' in my yard ain't gonna make yours any greener
And I wouldn't know about the rocks in your shoes
So I'll just do me and honey you can just do you
