What's his Breeder's cup classic price? Probably the last day to get a fair price.

$6 MILLION BREEDERS CUP CLASSIC ON NOV. 5 IS ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE ACCORDING TO BAFFERT
ARCADIA, Calif. (June 24, 2016)Juddmonte Farms Arrogate had the look of something special in winning Fridays $58,000 Santa Anita allowance feature by 5 ¼ lengths under Rafael Bejarano. Trained by Bob Baffert, the $560,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase was hustled from his rail post and made every pole a winning one en route to getting a mile and a sixteenth in a rapid 1:41.14.
Hes made a lot of progress, said Baffert of his lightly raced budding star. He had some shins, so we stopped on him and the race at Los Al (a third place finish in his debut, a maiden special weight at six furlongs on April 17) just didnt work out. Today, he didnt get rattled, in the paddock or at the gate.
I just told Rafael, From the one (post position), you need to be a little aggressive. Distance isnt an issue with this horse. When he came back right now, he wasnt blowing at all. Weve got a lot of options with him The Jim Dandy is there (Grade II, 1 1/8 miles at Saratoga on July 30) The plan is to get him to the Breeders Cup ($6 million Classic, at Santa Anita on Nov. 5.)
A 4 ½ length maiden winner here going 1 1/16 miles on June 5, Arrogate, a 3-year-old colt by Unbridleds Song, was off as the 3-5 favorite in a field of five 3-year-olds and up and paid $3.20, $2.20 and $2.10. With his record now at two wins from three starts, the winners share of $34,800 boosted his earnings to $73,800.
Ridden by Victor Espinoza, 4-year-old Fusaichi Samurai pursued his stablemate throughout and finished second, three quarters of a length in front of Pretentious. The second choice, Fu Sam paid $2.60 and $2.20.
Third place went to another 4-year-old, Pretentious, who was off at 20-1 with Santiago Gonzalez and paid $3.40 to show.
Fractions on the race were 23.62, 47.17, 1:10.72 and 1:34.85.
A pair of Grade I stakes, the $500,000 Gold Cup at Santa Anita and the $300,000 Triple Bend, highlight a nine-race card Saturday at Santa Anita. First post time is at 1:30 p.m. and admission gates open at 11:30 a.m.
That chance has left the station. 11-1 today.
Actually he's down to 8/1 now. I checked earlier today (shortly after the race) and they had dropped him to 12/1 at that point (from 45/1 a few days ago, i think).
I meant he was 11-1 today. I had the double and pick 3 many many times. Considering I also bet Drefong (who is a fucker looker - I mean a real beast), it's a shame I didnt crush the pick 4.
Also I was in Vegas last weekend, and was babysitting some 22 year old drunken sluts, so as you can imagine finding futures slipped my mind...
Arrogate won't run again after the race. You can't juice an unbridled song like that and expect it to last. Baffert will have this fucker CRANKED for the big time connex. Rip AIDS patient Bobby frankel.
:idoit:
Also, Drefong still a looker & runner. Best muscles on the west coast since the I'll-fated Arabian Leopard.
