He didnt look like the second coming of Native Dancer when he left California last week, and he looked pretty much like the same iron-gray colt when he walked off the Hubbard van Monday afternoon at Del Mar. Air Jordan 3 Cheap Sale .But what a difference a record-setting, 13-1/2-length win in the Travers can make, for its all eyes now on Arrogate, the son of Unbridleds Song who dismantled Americas oldest stakes race last Saturday with the ease of a child crumbling a tower made of Legos.There at Bob Bafferts barn FF, with the American Pharoah Triple Crown plaque mounted high on the concrete wall, Arrogate got a quick foot rinse, a tour of the tow ring, and a long drink of water before being soaped down, sponged off, and put away in his stall next to his even grayer stablemate, Cupid. (And no, Arrogate does not live in American Pharoahs Del Mar stall. American Freedom must deal with those ghosts.)Baffert has been swinging hard all year trying to replace the irreplaceable American Pharoah from a deep bench that would put the 1927 Yankees to shame. He started with Mor Spirit, doubled down with Cupid, and unleashed American Freedom to win a cluster of second-tier 3-year-old events without really stirring the blood. On paper, Arrogate appeared to be no more or less than the next batter up, with no stakes experience and a pedigree that offered cold comfort at the 1-1/4 miles required by the Travers.So much for paper.Mike couldnt stop talking, Baffert said of his Travers rider, Mike Smith. He was like, Did you see that? Can you believe that? I dont believe that. He was cracking me up.While Baffert was holding it in.After the race, I was all ready to give it the Usain Bolt, he said, striking the Olympic sprinters trademark lightning-bolt victory pose. But then I thought Im here at Saratoga, training for Juddmonte, and maybe I better keep it low key.The idea that trainers working for Prince Khalid Abdullah must maintain a strict sense of public propriety is due mainly to their high regard for the man himself. There are no particular rules of behavior required, but if the Juddmonte aura discourages Baffert from putting a trophy on his head, so be it.In the end, its the horse that counts, and those insiders and wise guys touting Arrogates superior skills before the Travers could be considered guilty of arrogating, that is, to claim something without justification. They also were right.History is full of one-trick ponies, which means Arrogates next step in the Breeders Cup Classic will be his defining challenge. If he can do it again against California Chrome, Frosted, and whatever Aidan OBrien brings to Santa Anita in November, then we can talk about the gray colt as one of the great late bloomers.In the meantime, it is worth noting that Arrogate is not the first horse named Arrogate to make racing history. And the old Arrogate did some of his best work at Del Mar, not far from where the new Arrogate lives today.Old Arrogate was a foal of 1951 born into privilege at Calumet Farm but later sold to Southern California refuse entrepreneur Dick Gregorian. Reggie Cornell trained Arrogate to his most significant West Coast victories, which included the 1955 and 1956 runnings of the Del Mar Handicap, then run at nine furlongs on the main track.What a business Gregorian had, said Hall of Famer Ron McAnally, who worked for his Uncle Reggie at the time. After his trucks picked up all the trash, hed have it all separated into bottles, cans, paper, and garbage. The bottles, cans, and paper hed sell, and the garbage theyd take to a pig yard to feed the pigs. And they were his pigs! Every part of the operation was profit.Arrogate was the younger half-brother of Calumets Sun Again, the winner of the Arlington Futurity, and Fervent, a colt who on his best days could beat horses like Stymie, Phalanx, and his stablemate Armed.He was a chestnut horse, McAnally said of Arrogate. Ideal to work with. No problems at all.In his first Del Mar Handicap win, Arrogate defeated Bobby Broccato, the winner of the Santa Anita Handicap and San Juan Capistrano. In his second Del Mar score, Arrogate turned back Honeys Alibi, the winner of the Malibu Stakes and the San Diego Handicap -- but something more.It was on Sept. 3, 1956, 60 years ago Saturday, that Arrogate carried John Longden to his 4,871st victory in that Del Mar Handicap, passing the record established by Englands Sir Gordon Richards. Longdens age at the time was reported as 46, and he rode for another 10 years, retiring at what he announced was 59. Go ahead, do the math.The old Arrogate ended up winning seven stakes, a quarter-million dollars, and posted a record of 20 wins and 22 placings from 83 starts. But since he was neither a Horse of the Year, nor an Eclipse Award winner, nor the winner of a race in the Triple Crown, his name was available to be recycled after 25 years.No one touched it until Prince Khalid snapped it up for his gray son of Unbridleds Song. Now the new Arrogate is flying the name high and proud after setting a Saratoga track record for 1-1/4 miles in the Travers, just as the old Arrogate set a Del Mar track record for 1-1/8 miles in the 1956 Handicap. Sometimes history can be so cool. Wholesale Air Jordan 3 . Tevez, who has had conflicts with coaches in the past, has not been called up since Sabella was named coach in 2011.

Ask Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett about that and see him smile. Rookie Devonte Hollomans 75-yard interception return with a tipped pass keyed the Cowboys 24-20 victory over the Miami Dolphins in the Hall of Fame game Sunday night that opened the NFLs preseason. Dallas also got a strong effort from its relatively inexperienced running backs, from some youngsters on the offensive line, and by a defence making the switch to the 4-3 alignment under new co-ordinator Monte Kiffin. "Any time you can give young players an extra chance to play in a game, they grow," Garrett said. "With an extra preseason game, it makes sense to give those young guys an opportunity to play." Hollomon, a sixth-round pick from South Carolina was perfectly situated when rookie Chad Bumphis had Matt Moores pass go off his hands in the second quarter. "I thought about it the whole way here and it actually happened," he said of making a big play, after which he got his "first handshake from coach Garrett." The linebacker sped toward the end zone with a group of blockers escorting him, and after he scored he tightly clutched the ball as he headed to the Dallas sideline. "I had a celebration in my mind, but I was overwhelmed and decided to celebrate with my teammates," he said. "It was fantastic, a really great play from him," Garrett said. "We were swarming to the football, had a lot of guys around the quarterback, and then the ball pops in the air and he makes a great play and great run." Bumphis otherwise had a strong game with five receptions for 85 yards. "I feel like I can create mismatches in the slot," said Bumphis, who was undrafted out of Mississippi State. "Just get open. Im a good receiver when it comes to getting in and out of my breaks, and thats where I feel like Im my best." The Cowboys controlled most of the game one night after their former offensive lineman, Larry Allen, and former coach, Bill Parcells, were inducted into the hall. Quarterback Tony Romo, coming off back surgery to remove a cyst, sat out for Dallas. So the Cowboys turned to their ground game -- and ground down Miami as few regulars got onto the field. Miamis mistakes were decisive. They struggled most of the night against Dallas new defence masterminded by Kiffin, the man who designed the Tampa 2 scheme so prevalent throughout the NFL. Although top running back DeMarco Murray was held out, the Cowboys were dominant on the grround. Air Jordan 3 Cheap. Phillip Tanner did the bulk of the early work and finished with 59 yards and a touchdown. Joseph Randle handled the late duty and had 70 yards as Dallas piled up 170 yards rushing. "Were trying to get an identity as a group," Tanner said. "We had Coach DeMarco on the sideline telling us to just go out and play." Allen, Parcells and the other five inductees -- Cris Carter, Jonathan Ogden, Warren Sapp, Curley Culp and Dave Robinson -- were on hand and were honoured again before the game. Parcells, who coached Dallas and was an executive for the Dolphins in his final two NFL stops, walked through a line of players from both teams, pointing and exchanging barbs and smiles with them. Soon after, Dallas led 7-0 on Tanners 1-yard run. The Cowboys were set up at the Miami 9 when Ryan Tannehill botched a handoff to Lamar Miller on the Dolphins first offensive play and Nick Hayden recovered. Tanner soon departed with a left arm injury, but returned and ran over and through Miamis defence. Dallas moved the ball well in offensive co-ordinator Bill Callahans first outing as its play caller; those duties were taken away from head coach Jason Garrett in the off-season. Of course, few starters ever made it onto the field for either side. Dan Baileys 49-yard field goal made it 10-0, then Holloman made his long sprint to the end zone. Dan Carpenter kicked a 27-yard field goal for Miami, which used Tannehill for only 10 snaps before Moore came in. Third-string QB Pat Devlin hit rookie Keenan Davis with a 5-yard TD pass on fourth down in the final period, making it 17-10, and Carpenter added a 45-yarder. But rookie Kendial Lawrence ran in from 7 yards with 1:57 left to clinch it for Dallas, even though Moore returned and added a 5-yard TD pass to Kyle Miller with 16 seconds to go. Defensive end Dion Jordan, the third overall pick in the draft, had little impact for the Dolphins. "I thought wed play better," a clearly disappointed coach Joe Philbin said. NOTES: The Cowboys now are 2-3 in the game, while the Dolphins are 0-4. ... Head to head, the Cowboys lead the preseason series 6-2. ... Several Dallas players sustained minor injuries, and Garrett seemed most concerned with a left ankle injury for safety Matt Johnson . ... Miami is at Jacksonville on Friday night, while Dallas visits Oakland ... The Dolphins wore their new uniforms, which are closer to the original aqua colour of the 1960s, and have a slightly different logo on the helmet.
