No matter how tough the perceived beat, there is always another race go- ing to post, or another prospect coming into the barn who may make up for a setback. At the 2014 Keeneland September yearling sale the Juddmonte Farms crew, like many, were keen on a gorgeous gray colt from the Clearsky Farms con- signment. While Prince Khalid Abdullah's operation didn't prevail in the bidding for $2.2 million co-sale topper and future graded stakes winner Mohaymen, the "other" gray colt it ended up taking home suc- ceeded in bringing the farm to one of biggest stages in the 3-year-old male ranks. The buzz contender in the 14-horse lineup for Saturday's $1.25 million Travers Stakes (gr. I) is the Bob Baffert-trained, Juddmonte-owned Arrogate, who steps into graded stakes company for the first time while making his fifth career start. It is an ambi- tious outing for a horse that just debuted in April and broke his maiden June 5, but the move also speaks to the level of confidence from connections who don't normally dive into that deep of a pool unless they are fairly certain they can kick to the surface.

He's a bigger horse than Mohaymen and we gave him some time.

The 4-year-old son of Super Saver, who was given 60 days off after he was diagnosed with a bone bruise in mid-June, worked three furlongs in :34 4/5 at Keeneland and was also timed for the half-mile (:46) and five furlongs (:59). What lies ahead is an ambitious schedule for James McIngvale's star runner. The plan, as it has been all along this year, is to stretch Runhappy out to a mile and beyond. On the immediate radar is the one-turn mile Ack Ack Handicap (gr. III) Oct. 1 at Churchill Downs, with a year-end goal of the Nov. 5 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (gr. I) at Santa Anita Park. In Runhappy's final outing last Dec. 26, he won Santa Anita's seven-furlong Malibu Stakes (gr.I) against 3-year-olds. The "beyond" comes in the form of the nine-fur- long Pegasus World Cup (gr.
