Arrogate to stand at Juddmonte Farm after Breeders' Cup

Champion Arrogate will be retired following this year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic at Del Mar and will enter stud for the 2018 breeding season at Juddmonte Farms in Lexington, Ky.

A fee will be determined later for the 4-year-old son of Unbridled’s Song, who has won 7 of 10 starts for earnings of $17,302,600.

Arrogate was named champion 3-year-old male of 2016 on the strength of a campaign that included wins in the Grade 1 Travers Stakes and Breeders’ Cup Classic. He returned at 4 to take the inaugural Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes and Dubai World Cup.

"Arrogate is training forwardly towards his next start in the Classic, as witnessed by his bullet workout today," Juddmonte manager Garrett O’Rourke said, referencing the colt’s five-furlong breeze in 1:00.20 on Tuesday at Santa Anita.

Bred in Kentucky by Clearsky Farms, Arrogate is the first foal and first runner out of the Grade 3-placed stakes-winning Distorted Humor mare Bubbler. His third dam is champion Meadow Star, and he hails from the family of Grade 1 winner Belle Gallantey.
