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 lks like another yearling must have kicked him in the mouth, he said.Arrogates left front tth 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 lks like he plays for the Blackhawks. I think every hockey player will be rting 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 gd 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 gd 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 lking 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 wd, hes sound and healthy; wed love to keep doing this.That would put a smile on anyones face. Cheap College Basketball Jerseys .

PITTSBURGH -- The Kansas City Chiefs, impressive one week ago against the New York Jets, couldnt sustain the momentum against the Pittsburgh Steelers.The Chiefs forced eight turnovers during a win against the Jets, but were unable to build on it against a Steelers team that suffered its worst loss in 27 years last week at Philadelphia.The return of All-Pro running back Jamaal Charles didnt help as the Chiefs offense sputtered and committed two costly early turnovers while Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger picked apart the defense, throwing five touchdown passes during a 43-14 win against Kansas City on Sunday.I really feel like the turnovers changed the game, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. Two turnovers, and then all of the sudden we were down. It was a different game.Charles completed his nearly yearlong comeback from a torn ACL in his right knee, but the return was spoiled by the Steelers. Charles had just two carries for seven yards during his season debut for the Chiefs, who havent won in Pittsburgh since 1986. Smith completed 30 of 50 passes for 287 yards with an interception and a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns to Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. The Kansas City defense allowed the most points since the 2013 wild-card playoff game against Indianapolis.You learn a lot about yourself after you get your butt kicked, and today, we got our butts kicked, Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said.The Pittsburgh secondary entered the game allowing more than 300 yards passing during its first three games, and Smith nearly made it four straight. But Smith and the Chiefs were unable to expose the Steelers like Philaddelphia and Andy Reid disciple Doug Pederson.ddddddddddddPhiladelphia slashed the Steeler defense a week ago, turning short screen passes and underneath routes into big gains. Kansas City employs a similar offensive scheme, but it didnt work on Sunday as the Steelers eliminated costly missed tackles that plagued them against Philadelphia.The Steelers also controlled the line of scrimmage, finishing with four sacks after entering with one in three games. Pittsburgh was reluctant to bring pressure during the first three weeks, instead opting to drop seven or eight players into coverage, but the Steelers harassed Smith throughout the night.Hats off to a team for bouncing back after getting their tail whipped, Kelce said. Were going to have to do the same thing.The Chiefs fell apart early on Sunday as the Steeler defense forced two turnovers in the first 10 minutes that led to touchdowns.Cameron Heyward struck first when he forced a Spencer Ware fumble, recovered by Ross Cockrell. Heyward helped force the Chiefs second turnover when he tipped a pass that was picked off by linebacker Jarvis Jones.Roethlisberger attacked the Chiefs secondary after the turnovers with touchdown passes to Darrius Heyward-Bey and Antonio Brown. He threw for two more scores in the first half and opened the second with another as Kansas City trailed by 36 points early in the third quarter.When they got the lead they were able to feast, Smith said. They had the crowd noise rolling and they were able to bring the pressure. ' ' '
