Arrogate's 325 foals of racing age showcase his significant contribution to the racing world. The fact that his runners have made 800 starts and achieved 146 wins (18%) this year speaks volumes about his genetic prowess. His influence extends beyond just the number of starts and wins; it's about the quality and potential he brings to each race.
As a sire, his limited number of crops only adds to the anticipation. The fact that the last of his crops are now finishing up their 3-year-old season makes this a crucial time for his offspring. Each of these foals holds the promise of continuing his racing legacy.
At Los Alamitos on Sunday, TAIF is set to make his mark. Purchased by Zedan Racing for $1.45 million at the 2023 OBS April Sale, this colt is out of unraced Destine (War Front). Destine is responsible for six foals, three of whom have raced and delivered two winners. TAIF's extended female family includes champion Smoke Glacken (Two Punch), MGSW Smokey Glacken (Forestry), and MGSW Crown of Thorns (Repent). This rich pedigree gives TAIF a solid foundation to build on.
The unveiling of TAIF under Arrogate's trainer Bob Baffert is an event to look forward to. With Arrogate's track record and TAIF's pedigree, there is high anticipation for what this colt will achieve on the racetrack.
