Arrogate

Arrogate (April 11, 2013 – June 2, 2020) was a Thoroughbred racehorse. He was notable as the all-time leading North American-based runner by earnings. Arrogate won the 2016 Travers Stakes in a record time in his first stakes appearance. He won the Breeders' Cup Classic, by defeating California Chrome and was named the American Champion Three-Year-Old Male Horse and World's Best Racehorse of 2016. As a four-year old, Arrogate won the 2017 Pegasus World Cup and the Dubai World Cup. Upon returning to the United States, however, Arrogate suffered three straight defeats. He retired with a record of seven wins from eleven starts. Despite having only four stakes race wins, the large purses made him the all-time leading money earner in North America. Arrogate was euthanized at age seven. In 2023, Arrogate was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.
