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 3/4 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 1/2 lengths with the fastest time in the tracks 147-year history.Then he proved in the Classic hes not a one-race wonder.This horse is just learning how to run.

Clint Capela of the Houston Rockets knows how to dunk basketballs and block shots. He ranks among the NBAs top 10 in each of those categories this season. Singing, on the other hand, is not one of his strong suits.The 22-year-old center recently tried out karaoke by singing The Jackson 5 song I Want You Back while wearing a red sports coat and red-rimmed sunglasses in the corner of a room outfitted to look like a recording studio. The Rockets official Twitter account dubbed the performance A capella with Capela and hinted that there will be more episodes to come.Several of Capelas teammates received the privilege -- or punishment -- of listening to his vocal rendition, as the 1969 songs instrumental music played in the background. Their reactionns were broadcast in the video using a green screen to make it appear as if they were watching Capela through a window.ddddddddddddSmall forward Sam Dekker was the only teammate to appreciate the show, while guard James Harden and swingman Trevor Ariza each called it terrible. Power forward Ryan Anderson described it as ear-piercing.According to ESPNs Calvin Watkins, Capela didnt know the words to the song, and thats why he struggled. He said he might have sung it better if he knew the words.If this whole basketball thing doesnt work out for Capela, a music career probably isnt on the horizon, either.-- Nick Ostiller ' ' '
