Could be interesting since Arrogate would be coming back on less than 4 weeks rest if he goes in the Pegasus Cup.

Silent Bird is certainly improving he ran well on the BC undercard, but he did run down a Baffert horse who came back to run like **** in an allowance race..... So off that win, he can challenge Arrogate? Highly unlikely. The 4 week thing is obviously a concern. He has run huge off layoffs multiple times. I'm confident Bob will have him ready though. He is the best horse we have seen in 20 years, lets be happy we have him.
