He finished an uninspiring 3rd for the 3rd time in a row. As a result of the poor performance he has been...

BANISHED FROM THE STABLE!

Yep. Jockey had him in great position throughout, but when he called on him, he was slow reacting. Might need a change of something! Equipment, shoes, jockey, distance, or class?

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.

He doesn��t look like a sprinter, but maybe a sprint is needed to wake him up. He acted as if he can break well enough. He came over just a bit at the break. Trainer is probably satisfied keeping in that 10k claimed and not losing him. So, be careful with that!

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. peace peace_5
