What a race! California Chrome and Arrogate battled it right to the end. I thought Chrome had it . . . was really impressed by Arrogate’s last surge.
How ironic that just yesterday it was Arrogate’s Jockey, Mike Smith, who was on the losing end of the match race — he was riding Songbird, who barely lost to Beholder!
Mike Smith is one heck of a rider!
I think Baffert called him “major money” Mike in a post race interview!
