Arrogate, a thoroughbred horse that won a record US$17.4M in its 11 races, has died
Juddmonte Farms said Arrogate was euthanized Tuesday after becoming ill. The Lexington, Kentucky, breeding farm said it was unclear what the illness was and a necropsy is planned.
Trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, Arrogate had seven wins in 11 career starts and earnings of US$17,422,600, making him North America's all-time richest thoroughbred. Arrogate blew away the competition, winning by 13 1/2 lengths and smashing the track record with a time of 1:59.36 for 1 1/4 miles, fastest in the race's 147-year history.
"It takes a lot to make me cry, but I cried this morning when I heard the news," Baffert said from his base at Santa Anita in California. "I've never had a horse that threw in four magical races in a row that were off the charts. He was just brilliant."
