DUBAI, UAE—MARCH 24, 2017—Former Quarter Horse trainer Bob Baffert will be looking to saddle his third Dubai World Cup winner on Saturday when he sends out two starters in the $10 million-dollar race at the Meydan Racecourse in Dubai, UAE.

Baffert trainee Arrogate, a multiple Grade 1 winning son of Unbridled's Song, is the odds-on favorite to take home the top prize of $6 million. The 4-year-old has won six of seven career starts and banked over $11 million in just under one-year of racing. His only career loss was a third-place finish in his maiden start at Los Alamitos Race Course on April 17, 2016.

Arrogate enters Saturday's race off dominating back-to-back wins in the two biggest US races—the $12 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational(GI) at Gulfstream Park the $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic (GI) at Santa Anita Park.

Baffert, who began his career at Rillito Park in Tucson, Arizona, the birthplace of modern Quarter Horse racing, some 40+ years ago parlayed a successful Quarter Horse training career into induction to the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame in 2009.

Joe Drake wrote a retrospect on the trainer, "Hard Work, Failure and Passion: How a Horse Trainer Made It", for the New York Times print edition today (Mar. 24).
