Arcangelo's success is a tribute to the late great Arrogate an incredible horse gone too soon at only 7 years old. Arrogate passed on his greatness to this beautiful colt. I wish there had been some mention of Arrogate and how special he was. Arcangelo looks so much like his sire.
The great, mighty Arrogate. Gone far too soon, but sired a KY Oaks winner and a Belmont Stakes winner in the infancy of his sire years. I think he only foaled 3 crops. We witnessed his greatness once again in the form of Arcangelo, a magnificent gray with tremendous talent and heart. It has already been 3+ years since Arrogate’s passing. A devastating blow. May we see much more of this beauty on the race track!
Always appreciate your videos! Thanks so much for sharing the events/places/horses for those of us who can't be there in person. Especially love your behind the scenes footage on the backside of works +washes, etc. What a great Belmont day, salute to the immortal Secretariat and to Arcangelo and Jenna Antonucci!!
@Apharoah12 that was a great video, once again you surpassed the TV broadcast by miles. Loved your coverage. Was so disappointed watching the race on Fox: no audio in our area and terrible photography. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy the different aspects of that momentous occasion. You did a fantastic job, as always!
Thank you to the one who is making all these videos APharoah12. Really enjoy them. Arrogate what could have been. 2 classic winners from his limited crop.
So appreciative of your videos. And thank you for including sire, dam and damsire - I miss that in the Fox broadcast, especially in the undercard races
Fantastic pre and post coverage, thank you as Fox’s coverage was more interested in their talented staff. Arrogate now with a classic female winner in Secret Oath and now Arcangelo in the Belmont, brilliant as a sire too.
my gosh, the gallop out! you couldn't tell that on the Fox coverage, I had no idea! he went Secretariat on the rest of the field - Forte, Tapit Trice & Hit Show/Angel of Empire timed their closes perfectly, & made admirable runs, because Arcangelo clearly wasn't slowing down, but as soon as they crossed the wire, Forte, Tapit Trice & Hit Show/Angel of Empire slowed down dramatically, but Arcangelo just kept galloping like one of those jumps runners who just gallops along for four miles ...and so funny to see Maggie take off on her buckskin pony, to do the interview, hehe
So happy for Jena and the connections... awesome story and love the emotion after the race..and the legendary Tom Durkin with the call!! Although I couldn't hear his voice towards the end of the race and his voice was cracking I think 😂... anyway he is still legendary
It was "meant to be", Javier is having a great year, riding a long time, paid his dues, these are the spoils, congratulation, to the owner, trainer, jockey, groom, and the fabulous, Arrogate, for a wonderful son to continue the legacy, well deserved.
So tickled for Archangelo! He was my pick, after watching workout footage of him earlier in the week, and hearing he is a son of Arrogate. Arrogate died far too young.
En verdad que los caballos purasangre son hermosos, y la cría y cuidados de estos es un verdadero arte que demuestra amor por estos seres tan nobles, desde luego hay una satisfacción monetaria, pero la satisfacción y emoción de ganar o estar en los primeros lugares, es mucho más grande, como lo he visto en los dueños cuando cruzan la meta.
Should have been Named the TAPIT Stakes judging by the lineage... sheesh, I recall Deputy Minister having his bloodline thru so many Derby/TC Races Horses in 70's and beyond. Tapit is right there now. BTW - AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME footage. THANKS!
I heard the lady talking in the background, saying, You don't need a million dollar horse. That's true, you don't. Mine That Bird only cost $9500 when he was bought. He easily won the Kentucky derby in 2009.
I need to study up on my bloodlines. LOTS of these colts were Tapit bred either on the top or bottom side. Since the winner was distaff bred, he must be a good mare sire. I rarely have seen one sire listed that many times in one race. But maybe I'm just an old fuddy duddy and he's super famous. Wish I had a large heart mare to breed to Tapit.
Tapit is one of the greatest sires in history no doubt. His stud fee was once the highest in the world when he was younger ($300,000!!!!). He has sired 4 belmont stakes winners. He has sired 157 stakes winners, 30 (I guess now 31) grade 1 winners and 8 champions. Including last years topped ranked racehorse in the world Flightline (had the highest rating in timeform ever recorded in the USA and the 2nd highest ever just behind Frankel).
Ya a woman trainer has broke through the glass ceiling and win over the big boy so great we ladies of the horse world are so proud of ms Jena and her win sooooo proud
Six of the horses( in Belmont stakes)were sons or grandsons of Tapit, icluding the winner. Remember Flightline!!!...Actually Tapit is the Best stallion and broodmaresire in U.S.A and maybe the world .
Las carreras de caballos son un espectáculo hermoso y pensar que acá en Colombia es uno de los pocos paises que no cuentan con un hipódromo hace muchos años, que tristeza.
It could have been the distance that killed National Treasure. The distance is a lot longer and I don’t think he even ran in the Derby. The fact the rail wasn’t used and he shot up to the front in a longer distance didn’t help.
I picked Forte to win. His jockey needs to have him be near the lead. Like he ran in the Florida Derby , ten weeks ago. I had the winner as my 3rd choice. He was in my Pick 3, pick 4 , pick 5 and pick 6 combinations. So, I won on all 4 tickets, anyway.
He was a wreck in the saddle up area also, constantly fighting the handlers and spooking. That wore him down a lot also. Not saying poor riding didn’t help, but using up your energy before a race doesn’t help.
23:06 Was Baffert mad about Johnny V's ride? That horse was gassed and staggered across the wire. Maybe don't work the horse a fast 6f between the Preakness and Belmont?
someone should let that lady talking in the background the whole time know that you dont need million dollar horses to win. I mean you really dont need million dollar horses to win, she might want to know im telling you.
@@apharoah12 My guy lol you have to be super quick to be able to catch them leaving the paddock & still got the post parade!! Hope you enjoyed it here @ Belmont!
No more than anybody else,he ran well but is a bit overrated,it just takes him way to long to get going,he basically runs the same race every time except the blue grass where he was a bit closer
@@BryantBrothers-gm1qx I think they are talking about Tapit Trice's sire Tapit. And you seem to be talking about Tapit Trice. Tapit has sired 4 belmont winners and is the broodmare sire or sire to most horses in this belmont field including the winner (broodmare sire).
@Steve…Anyone who knows anything about horse racing can see that the track was slow . I would like to check the track variant. In the earlier race , the Met Mile Cody’s Wish had a final time of 1:38:40 which wasn’t very good either.
Coverage should be open so it gets out there from many sources, but they think too small to see it as they focus on who covers and sees it. I would let everyone broadcast an event so it would grow and get a vastly larger audience and the best coverage. Small thinkers = so so coverage and smaller audiences.
Good to know. Makes me glad I don't have TV anymore. Also annoying that they cut off the Livestream at post time unless you subscribe to the channel. That makes no sense. We still have to watch the commercials, so the advertisers are getting what they paid for. It should be like watching it on network TV. What's the diff if I watch it on cable or on YT? Anyway this channel is the BEST coverage, and worth the wait to see it later.
That the final time for the Bad horse win i don't belived forte lost with this horse is like I said make this Bad jockey win the Belmont stake to Made the Hall of fame of the Bad jockey i don't belived Bad time with Bad horse and Bad jockey jajajaja
Why did it take so incredibly long for someone to spray this horse down with water and offer him a drink. That makes no sense to me. He just ran a mile and a half in June, in hot weather.
@@victorcornet21 It would at the best be (depending on the severity) career ending. At the worst, fatal. Horses can’t throw up, so they can get extremely sick from drinking too much too fast and soon. All grooms, handlers and jockeys know this and are extremely careful about how they slow down, cool off and let the horses drink after a race like this. Also, it’s completely obvious that this horse is extremely well loved and cared for. The owner and trainer would give him water if she thought it was safe earlier to do so. EDIT TO ADD: Run a mile and a half, in weather like this. Or even July or August and right afterwards take an ice cold hose or shower and wash yourself down to cool off as soon as you stop running. If you’re lucky, you’ll be fine. Which is a miracle. Most likely you’ll be suffering from muscle pain and stress, severe shock (abruptness of temperature can put animals and humans in shock, that’s why it’s so critical in extreme cold or heat exposure to slowly change their temperature, too fast can kill more likely than not doing anything), and severe stress to your body. Another reason they gallop a quarter of a mile to a half after the race, to let the horse slow down slowly so he can adjust to the change of speed.
A big win for the trainer, but keep this race in perspective: More than 4 seconds!!!!!! slower than Secretariat 50 years ago! All grade stakes races were very slow, where have the fast horses gone??? Secretariat's works record will forever stand the test of time!!! Very disappointing Belmont Stakes day.
@@sall4090roughcuts The air quality is the worst in the world right now there also. There was heavy debate over whether the race was even going to be run.
It's worth noting tracks today have been deepened for the safety of the horses since the 70s. Comparing times is hard because tracks are typically slower than they were 50 years ago. The track condition for the track on this day was not super fast. And the track condition for Secretariat's Belmont was extremely fast. So fast that multiple mediocre horses has broken speed records that week and hours before the 1973 Belmont. Of course, I am not trying to take away from Secretariat's feat. But comparing times today to times from half a century ago is difficult to do because tracks and rules have changed.

Qué belleza Javier qué te triple corones junto arcangelo Dios te bendiga
It was "meant to be", Javier is having a great year, riding a long time, paid his dues, these are the spoils, congratulation, to the owner, trainer, jockey, groom, and the fabulous, Arrogate, for a wonderful son to continue the legacy, well deserved.

Thank you very much!
Baffert did not look too happy with the ride Velasquez gave his horse.
Just like his sire Arrogate, still on his toes after a big race.
I hope more of his foals succeed and continue his great legacy.
Congrats to Jena the trainer,John the owner and Castellanos the jockey, Nice group of people surrounding Arcangelo.
Great video! Thanks! Plus, I learned that "You don't need a million dollar horse!" Who knew?🤷♀️
Thanks for watching!! Who would’ve guessed that! Lol

Fantastic job Sean! 👏

Thank you.😊
I hope Cave Rock (another Arrogate colt) gets back to his winning ways. Two great colts by a sire we lost way too soon.
R.I.P Arrogate
Unfortunately RIP also for Cave Rock.
Should have been Named the TAPIT Stakes judging by the lineage... sheesh, I recall Deputy Minister having his bloodline thru so many Derby/TC Races Horses in 70's and beyond. Tapit is right there now.

2/3 of the horses have Tapit either as sire or dam sire.

What a great horse. To only have 4 career starts and to dominate the Belmont Stakes. One of the last son’s of Arrogate.
hopefully this horse does not retire after this year and runs a few more years - sadly though its likely off to the breeding shed
Felicitaciones para los ganadores
Hey APharoah12. Did you get a chance to hear Tom Durkin’s call of the Belmont Stakes?
I watched the replay afterwards. John Imbriale was the announcer for the track
Extraordinaria preparacion y conduccion impecable por algo es el mejor de Vzla. Para el mundo

I was disappointed that they didn't stick to tradition and play Frank Sinatra's version of New York New York.
Ditto! Sinatra is so much better. I mute it when I was watching Fox.
We could call this The Tapit Derby.
Congratulations
Was looking like Baffert wanted some answers?
It could have been the distance that killed National Treasure.
The distance is a lot longer and I don’t think he even ran in the Derby. The fact the rail wasn’t used and he shot up to the front in a longer distance didn’t help.
Jena two big stakes in a row....who could have guess that? Happy for her.

What abt forte?
I picked Forte to win. His jockey needs to have him be near the lead. Like he ran in the Florida Derby , ten weeks ago.
I had the winner as my 3rd choice. He was in my Pick 3, pick 4 , pick 5 and pick 6 combinations.
So, I won on all 4 tickets, anyway.
He was a wreck in the saddle up area also, constantly fighting the handlers and spooking. That wore him down a lot also.
Not saying poor riding didn’t help, but using up your energy before a race doesn’t help.
He was obviously held back
That’s one handsome fella
23:06 Was Baffert mad about Johnny V's ride? That horse was gassed and staggered across the wire. Maybe don't work the horse a fast 6f between the Preakness and Belmont?
Bad ride by Prat on #8 AOE. 5 wide on the 1st turn pretty much sealed his fate!
Is awesome look’s Arcangelo with his father Arrogate!! One blood that fare away is valuable!
1 horse how many usd ha bro????
Congratulations to the Arcangelo connections and bettors, I had Forte and just missed but 2nd place is the first loser.
someone should let that lady talking in the background the whole time know that you dont need million dollar horses to win. I mean you really dont need million dollar horses to win, she might want to know im telling you.
Just Like Arrogate, Arcangelo Has A Big Fighting Heart...

Why did they keep #6 so far out
in my opinion #6 was held back

Tapit has done most of the running at Belmont
No more than anybody else,he ran well but is a bit overrated,it just takes him way to long to get going,he basically runs the same race every time except the blue grass where he was a bit closer

I am alive see alot more of shows different kind
To put it in perspective, Secretariat, the goat, beat this horse by over 5 seconds which is over 30 lengths. Just sayin.

Saya sangat mengagumi sukan ini dan juga kepada kuda² ini, ia sangat tinggin dan juga mereka sangat² perkasa, and very shine horse
Tapit got grandkids and kids out there he got around 😂
The horse beat all the million dollar horses Iam so happy for her.

now I want a mint julep.
Love seeing a natural infield….you know the view is not blocked by too much stuff…..
From now on it will be Forte....if he is not retired cause of a bad foot.
THE MANAGER AWESOME THE ONE THE ONLY THE MANAGER
Tapit sons and grandsons.
So many of the Dams of these colts sired by Tapid.
Looks like Mr. Baffert not happy.

Why did it take so incredibly long for someone to spray this horse down with water and offer him a drink. That makes no sense to me. He just ran a mile and a half in June, in hot weather.
19th century racehorses used to run 4-mile heats in the same kind of weather.
When humans finish a marathon, they do not immediately slam a quart of water. There is cool down period.
@@mikeuyeda2330 good point. Horses could probably easily colick if given water too soon. Isn’t colic the number one killer of horses?
