Arrogate, horse racing’s top money earner, euthanized due to illness complications
3-year-old wins Breeders’ Cup Classicand Dubai World Cup, both races with huge purses. Dubai would be his last win. He ran three more times in 2017 at Del Mar, a fourth in the San Diego Handicap, second in the Pacific Classic and fifth in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
“He’s like a pitcher who can’t find the plate,” Baffert said after the Classic. “I hate to make any excuses for the big horse, but he’s just not the horse he was. He’s run so many incredible races that I really think he’s just losing interest. … It’s time [for him to retire.]”Advertisement Arrogate won seven of 11 races in his abbreviated two-year career and won $17,422,600, which is still the most by any thoroughbred.
