Default Arrogates Hercules

https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-rac...-texas-in-2025

Lemme get this straight. A 17 hand son of Arrogate (Arrogates Hercules, ugh the name), that's purportedly sound--that phrase is doing a lot of weight here--and is out of a G2P mare with a blacktype family didn't race because of "financial conflicts among his owners"? I got questions comin' outta my ears here. Sound, is he? Do his legs look like crazy straws? Which ownership (he went for $10,000 in Jan 2024)? Did nobody think it a good idea to not rest on an Arrogate either in training or sale given limited time/worth if he was/looked good? Did he not? If not why stand him vs geld him? Is there a reason neither ownership group started him? He's only 4, what's up with never even trying if he's otherwise a worthy equine specimen? Never started due financial conflicts but we're standing him now, are we? Lots of ownership groups have conflicts and they don't just sit on making money on the track for years so can we have the dirt/tea/etc?
