ARCADIA, Calif. -- California Chrome was cruising along on the lead, looking every inch the lauded veteran ready to polish his résumé with another big victory. Trailing behind was Arrogate, the youngest horse in the field, brilliant but inexperienced.In a thrilling finish to Breeders Cup weekend, racings newest star emerged.Arrogate chased California Chrome through the stretch, leaving the rest of the field in the dust. The highly anticipated showdown was on.With Mike Smith first whipping Arrogate left-handed and then right, the 3-year-old colt caught California Chrome in the final 100 yards to win the $6 million Classic by a half-length on Saturday at Santa Anita.When I did that, he gave me another jump, Smith said. That is what got us on by.The victory elevated Arrogate to heir apparent to California Chrome, who at age 5 likely has one race left in his storybook career.For Arrogate, the future is limitless. His potential is untapped, having not competed as a 2-year-old and making just his sixth start in North Americas richest race.It was California Chromes first loss in seven starts this year; Arrogate won his fifth straight.I was surprised I beat him, Arrogate trainer Bob Baffert said. I didnt think I could beat him going in.Smith earned his third Cup victory of the weekend and leading 25th of his career. Baffert won his record third consecutive Classic in front of an announced crowd of 72,811, the third highest in the events 33-year history.Owned by Juddmonte Farms, Arrogate ran 1? miles in 2:00.11 and paid $5.40, $2.80 and $2.60 as the 8-5 second choice.California Chrome set an unchallenged pace, with Melatonin second and Arrogate loping along on the outside in third down the backside.I was cruising on the lead. He was doing it so easy, so comfortable, California Chrome jockey Victor Espinoza said. Maybe I should have opened it up a little bit early.Around the final turn, Arrogate cut inside of Melatonin and shifted to the outside, taking dead aim on California Chrome, the 2014 Horse of the Year who won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness that year.Once I switched over and dropped into the far turn, he really picked it up at that point, Smith said. Then he was relentless, this horse. He never stops. Hes got some stamina.California Chrome still had an advantage in the upper stretch, until Arrogate closed steadily to pull off the upset.You saw two champions run, said Art Sherman, California Chromes 79-year-old trainer. What can I say? We got outrun on the fair. No excuses. He ran his eyeballs out.California Chrome returned $2.60 and $2.40. Keen Ice was another 10? lengths back in third and paid $5.80 to show.Late-developing Arrogate first gained notice in August at Saratoga, winning the Travers by 13? lengths with the fastest time in the tracks 147-year history.Then he proved in the Classic that hes not a one-race wonder.This horse is just learning how to run. California Chrome is a champion, Baffert said. To run down California Chrome, thats what the Breeders Cup is all about, watching races like that.Hoppertunity, also trained by Baffert, was fourth. Melatonin finished fifth, followed by Frosted, Effinex, War Story and Win the Space, who didnt finish.Shaman Ghost was scratched.The two-day attendance total of 118,484 was the highest in the 33-year history of the Breeders Cup.The total on-track wagering Saturday at Santa Anita was $13,515,269, an increase of 3.5 percent from last years same day wagering total at Keeneland in Kentucky. The two-day on-track wagering total was $20,694,235.The Associated Press contributed to this report.? Floyd Bannister Mariners Jersey .C. -- Rodney Hood connected from all over the court while freshman Jabari Parker was busy swatting shots and scoring in transition. Gorman Thomas Jersey . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year. https://www.cheapmariners.com/1715k-ricardo-sanchez-jersey-mariners.html . Takahashi, who had a 10-point lead after the short program, received 268.31 points after the free skate to finish 15 points ahead of second-place Nobunari Oda. Bret Boone Jersey . The 27-year-old Scrivens will be joining his third NHL club since signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in 2010. The move also reunites with him with head coach Dallas Eakins from their time together with the American Hockey Leagues Toronto Marlies. Edgar Martinez Mariners Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. MINNEAPOLIS -- The Cleveland Indians have a firm grip on the AL Central. With Corey Kluber finding his Cy Young form, their goals for this season are much bigger than the division title.Kluber struck out 10 in seven innings and Carlos Santana hit a three-run homer to help the Indians to a 7-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.Kluber (16-9) gave up an unearned run and four hits while passing the 200-strikeout mark for the third straight season. Bob Feller, Gaylord Perry and Jack McDowell are the only other Indians to accomplish that feat.I feel confident with Kluber, Santana said. I know he throws well the last seven, 10 starts. Hes throwing great.Roberto Perez added two hits, including a triple, and drove in a run for Cleveland, which increased its lead in the AL Central to seven games over Detroit.In the first two months of the season, Kluber was 4-6 with a 4.15 ERA and not looking at all like the top-of-the-rotation fixture he has been. But ever since he gave up five runs in 3 1/3 innings of a 17-1 loss to the Blue Jays on July 3, he has been dominant. The 2014 AL Cy Young Award winner is 8-1 with a 2.04 ERA over that span to help the Indians distance themselves from the Tigers.The Indians took two of three in the series, and Klubers quality start was much-needed after the team needed 10 pitchers to get through a 12-inning loss on Saturday night. The right-hander yielded an RBI single to Byron Buxton in the fourth inning, but had little trouble against a Twins lineup that included September promotions James Beresford, Kennys Vargas and Logan Schafer.I dont think he made too many mistakes, Twins manager Paul Molitor said.Kluber reached at least 10 strikeouts in a game for the third time this season. It was his 24th 10-strikeout game, tying him with Luis Tiant for fourth on Clevelands career list.Even if the bullpen was rested Id still be trying to go out there for as long as I can, Kluber said. Thats just the way that I approach it.Jose Berrios (2-6) lasted just 2 2/3 innings for the Twins, who committed four errors and managed just five hits. Berrios gave up five runs -- three earned -- and three hits. He walked four and hhad an errant pickoff throw in another shaky outing for the excitable 22-year-old.ddddddddddddSANTANAS BLASTWith Berrios flailing early, Santana hit a 94-mph fastball an estimated 431 feet onto the veranda behind the right field seats in the second inning. It was his 31st homer of the season and third in the last six games.I know the team, they need me, Santana said, and thats why Im here.TOMLINS BACKIndians right-hander Josh Tomlin will start Wednesday against the White Sox, returning to the rotation after Danny Salazar developed some tightness in his right forearm. Tomlin was demoted to the bullpen after going 0-5 with an 11.48 ERA in August. Mike Clevinger, who pitched four innings on Saturday, likely will start again on Thursday, manager Terry Francona said.The Indians also recalled left-hander Ryan Merritt and first baseman Jesus Aguilar from Triple-A Columbus. Merritt gives Francona, who has never been shy about using his bullpen, another arm after shuffling the decks to account for Salazars absence.POWER OUTAGETwins second baseman Brian Dozier has been on a historic power surge since the All-Star break, culminating in a run of homers in five straight games last week that pushed his total to 39 for the season. He has now gone four straight games without going deep. Dozier was 1 for 3 with a single and was hit by a pitch on Sunday.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: One night after delivering a game-ending hit in the 12th inning, 1B Joe Mauer was given the day off. Molitor said Mauer is dealing with soreness in both quads and he likely will need to mix in more days off over the final three weeks of the season.UP NEXTIndians: RHP Carlos Carrasco (11-7, 3.15 ERA) starts for the Indians when they open a four-game series in Chicago against RHP Miguel Gonzalez (3-6, 3.81) and the White Sox. Carrascos 2.02 ERA on the road is the best in the majors.Twins: RHP Ervin Santana (7-10, 3.58 ERA) will start the opener of a four-game series in Detroit on Monday night. LHP Daniel Norris (2-2, 3.94 ERA) gets the start for the Tigers. ' ' '
