Arrogate’s Liberal Arts Splashes to Street Sense Victory

[Wandering Eyes]

Evan and Stephen Ferraro's homebred Liberal Arts (c, 2, Arrogate–Ismene, by Tribal Rule) charged to the lead inside the final furlong to win the GIII Street Sense S. by a widening three lengths at Churchill Sunday. The gray colt trailed the strung-out field as Gettysburg Address (Constitution) skipped along on the lead over the sloppy track, setting fractions of :23.73 and :47.93. The field began bunching up heading into the far turn, but Liberal Arts was still last at the top of the lane. Informed Patriot (Hard Spun) was first to overtake the pacesetter in upper stretch, but Liberal Arts was tipped out to the center of the track and powered to the lead with authority to win going away. Favored Moonlight (Audible) closed for second.

Liberal Arts, who earned 10 points on the road to the Kentucky Derby, gave trainer Robert Medina his first graded victory.

On the board while sprinting in his first two starts, Liberal Arts graduated going seven furlongs at Ellis Park Aug. 13. He was trying two turns for the first time Sunday off a third-place effort in the one-mile GIII Iroquois S. at Churchill Downs Sept. 16. Lifetime Record: 5-2-1-2. O/B-Stephen and Evan Ferraro (Ky). T-Robert Medina.
