Sent off as part of an entry at just over 3-1, DJ Stable’s
Adversity (Arrogate–Artemis Agrotera, by Roman Ruler) became the first
winner for her late freshman sire (by Unbridled’s Song) with a
second-out success Monday at Saratoga.Asked to win her race
in upper stretch, she hit the front about a furlong from home and kept
on to score by a comfortable 2 1/4 lengths.Adversity made a
single appearance at public auction, fetching $335,000 at OBS April
after breezing her eighth of a mile in a smooth :10 flat.
A
son of Unbridled’s Song, Arrogate was North America’s Champion 3YO Male
in 2016, and won seven of just 11 starts, including the G1 Travers
Stakes, G1 Breeders’ Cup Classic, G1 Pegasus World Cup Invitational, and
G1 Dubai World Cup.
The flashy grey sadly died in 2020 after a long neurological illness.
