In one of the most stirring performances in recent horse racing history, Arrogate went from last to first to win the $10-million Dubai World Cup going away on Saturday at the Meydan Race Course in the United Arab Emirates. The win, worth $6 million, made him the highest earning horse in North American history at more than $17 million. Arrogate’s last two races have been worth $13 million, as the 4-year-old colt also won the $12-million Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Gulfstream. Arrogate won that race with a late kick and his brilliance was affirmed. It was Baffert’s third Dubai World Cup win, following Silver Charm (1998) and Captain Steve (2001).
