Arrogate Wins Pegasus World Cup – VIDEO

Shaman Ghost rallied for second, 3 1/2 lengths in front of Neolithic, who held on for third.

Arrogate, the 4-year old son of Unbridled’s Song, who has now won six-consecutive races, and now has 6 wins an a third-place finish in 7 career starts, increased his career earnings to $11 million.
