@TIPOF-THE-SWORD
Yep, since he came east from Cali, Arrogates Spirit hasn't been right. Getting 3 thirds in a row, all run in the same fashion indicates a change is needed somewhere. They have tried 3 different jockeys, so no one has a good feel for this guy. He's not really a closer; he kind of gets there but just doesn't have the ability to make up ground.
His last win was when he went for the lead. So why change a winning strategy? If trainer Kent Sweeney doesn't take this guy to the lead in his next race, I'd fire his ass.
I'm putting him back in my stable so I can see if a change is made.

Just my two cents and with total respect, some horses don't like/take to certain surface. It could potentially be a conditioning and/or in race issue. I have not seen this one race while focusing my attention upon him (I try to watch the horse(s) that I have tickets on during the live session, replays are used for others). Again, just my two cents on why a horse sometimes doesn't win.
