Stud: Arrogate stood at stud at Juddmonte Farms in Lexington, Kentucky. In the last week of May 2020 Arrogate's stud schedule was suspended when he appeared to be suffering from soreness in his neck. He then fell in his stall, was unable to get back to his feet, and was sent for treatment at the Hagyard Clinic. After four days of tests and unsuccessful treatment, he was euthanized on June 2. A statement issued by Juddmonte said "His will to fight, so valuable to him on the racetrack, became a challenge in his care. When serious secondary health issues set in, the decision was made to put him to sleep."

April 11 - Arrogate

When things are fresh in our minds, they are magnified and with time, those moments, memories, those facts start to fade . . .

I hope I continue to think of that six-month period when Arrogate was not only the best horse in the world, but his accomplishments provoked the conversation that he was the "Greatest Horse Ever!" - A four race period of six months that started with the Travers, then he bested Kentucky Derby winner and Dubai World Cup winner California Chrome in the Breeders' Cup Classic in an amazing stretch duel, then he won the richest race in America by capturing the Pegasus at Gulfstream, and capped it off with the incredible win in the Dubai World Cup after getting left at the start of the race seemingly with no shot at victory, and a grand total of $17 million in earnings. We promised that we'd never forget his greatness and then others have come along, and our hero's accomplishments begins to gather dust and his untimely death way too young, and now, we have to remind so many that for that brief period of time, Arrogate was unlike any horse that we'd ever seen nationally and internationally. Was he the greatest ever? Maybe not but what he did should never be forgotten, a truly amazing horse. Thank goodness we've seen a few of his offspring shoot to stardom in the past couple years with Kentucky Oaks winner Secret Oath and Belmont Stakes winner Arcangelo. I hope Arrogate's bloodline produces another one who reminds us of his greatness and passes the torch to the next generation. I'm really pulling for Arcangelo now in his first year at stud.
