ARCADIA, Calif. -- Arrogate resides in trainer Bob Bafferts Santa Anita barn in a stall that has webbing reading, American Pharoah: Triple Crown winner draped across the front. As with American Pharoah a year ago, Arrogate will not have raced since the Travers when he attempts to win the $6 million Breeders Cup Classic at Santa Anita on Saturday.And while American Pharoah certainly was far more accomplished than Arrogate, they share a mysterious backstory regarding their appearance, which in Arrogates case involves a mouth that only an orthodontist could love.Arrogate, a son of Unbridleds Song, was purchased by Juddmonte Farms for $560,000 as a yearling. When he was broken to saddle that fall, the first time we put a bit in his mouth, we noticed all his teeth were knocked back in, said Garrett ORourke, the manager of Juddmontes Kentucky-based United States operation.Its like American Pharoahs tail, ORourke said, referring to the abbreviated tail American Pharoah had when he first came to Bafferts barn. No one will admit how it happened.The leading theory with American Pharoah was that another yearling chewed on his tail in the field. ORourke figures something similar happened with Arrogate.It looks like another yearling must have kicked him in the mouth, he said.Arrogates left front tooth became so infected that it had to be pulled, ORourke said.If he were human, he wouldnt do a lot of smiling, Baffert said. He looks like he plays for the Blackhawks. I think every hockey player will be rooting for him.No adjustments have been made to Arrogates teeth since he began racing. The bit doesnt sit close to the front teeth, so thats not an issue. About the only accommodation is it takes him a little longer to eat, Baffert said, but he eats well.But he cant get a good bite out of you, Baffert said.Arrogate has saved that for his competition. Since losing his first start in a sprint at Los Alamitos in April, Arrogate has won four straight races, all around two turns, highlighted by a powerhouse performance in the Travers in which he set a track record for 1-1/4 miles at Saratoga while earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 122.Hes taking on California Chrome, which is a tall order, ORourke said of the Classic, but he has a legitimate chance.Arrogate is part of a growing relationship between Juddmonte, which is owned by Prince Khalid Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, and Baffert. Juddmonte had a large presence on the West Coast for more than two decades, primarily with trainer Bobby Frankel, but that waned in the years following Frankels death in November 2009.A couple of years ago, according to ORourke, the prince spoke of a desire to re-establish a presence on the West Coast. He wanted to know who was the best trainer out there, and I said Baffert, ORourke said.Juddmonte primarily races on turf, and most of its United States-based runners either have grass pedigrees and/or are raced in Europe before coming to the U.S., such as they did with Flintshire, the favorite for the Breeders Cup Turf who is trained by Chad Brown in New York. Baffert is not a grass trainer, having famously once said grass is good only for grazing. How to align the wishes of Juddmonte with the skill of Baffert?We decided to stick with dirt horses, and buy them as yearlings, ORourke said. Bob is brilliant at what he does, training for speed on dirt.Arrogate is from the five-horse first crop of yearlings purchased by Juddmonte to be sent to Baffert.The second crop numbered six, and those current 2-year-olds include the unraced Ghostzapper colt Electro, a half-brother to Lady Eli purchased as a yearling for $400,000. He has worked nine times since Sept. 2 and is nearing his debut.Were looking for quality, not quantity, ORourke said.ORourke said that plans are for Arrogate to stay in training at age 4.Oh, definitely, he said. As fresh as the horse is, and, touch wood, hes sound and healthy; wed love to keep doing this.That would put a smile on anyones face. Cheap Nike Shoes From China .

LOS ANGELES -- The San Diego Padres arent exactly having fun in the sun this season.Kenta Maeda struck out a career-high 13 batters, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat San Diego 3-1 on Sunday to drop the Padres to 6-23 in day games, including 1-13 during the day on Sundays.We do need to find a way to get ready for day games more consistently, manager Andy Green said. I dont think that weve played our best baseball in day games. Sundays are usually day games, so I dont want to make too much of that concept, but we do need to find a way to be ready to play at the beginning of a day game.Maeda exploited the Padres sleepy start by retiring 14 of the first 15 hitters.He pitched us backwards all day long. We didnt seem to make an adjustment, Green said. Spin us early. Hard in late. Mix in the fastball periodically, but it was pretty much offspeed.Maeda (8-6) held San Diego to a run on two hits, including a solo homer to Derek Norris.Adrian Gonzalez hit his first homer in 25 games to give the Dodgers a 3-1 lead in the fifth, a turning point for Padres starter Christian Friedrich (4-5).I tried to throw, as pitchers say, the nastier one, instead of the same one Ive thrown, Friedrich said. He did what good hitters do, went with it, and lifted it out to left-center.I was definitely frustrated by that one, especially.Friedrich lost for the fourth time in five starts, giving up three runs and seven hits over five innings.I settled down, felt like I was getting stronger as the game was going on, he said. Its a bitter way to end it, but there were some good things in there.Gonzalez has hit safely in five straightt games and is batting .dddddddddddd455 over his past 12 games.Howie Kendrick extended his hitting streak to seven games.
