THE 10th running of the $3 million Pegasus World Cup (10.39pm) at Gulfstream Park has drawn a strong field this evening. It is a mix of well exposed graded horses like the seven-year-old Skippylongstocking alongside some promising up-and-comers.

Breeders’ Cup winners have won six of the first nine runnings and Full Serrano winner of the 2024 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile and White Abarrio winner of the 2023 Breeders’ Cup Classic are the representatives this year.

White Abarrio dominated the 2025 race, winning by over six lengths beating Grade 1 winner Locked, but he comes off a long layoff and from stall 11, it looks difficult with a lot of speed in the race. White Abarrio also hasn’t raced since August. He was a late vet scratch from the 2025 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile.

Full Serrano is seeking to bounce back from a fifth-place finish in the 2025 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile. But drawing post three in this speed-packed field may force him engage in a hot pace.

The up-and-comer who could make a splash is the Juddmonte-owned Disco Time. Drawn in one, he usually races on or near the lead and made all in the St. Louis Derby to win by five and a half lengths, and again off pace-pressing tactics, he took the mile Dwyer Stakes by over nine lengths, both in fast times.

Disco Time in five starts can also come froim behind and in the 2025 Lecomte Stakes, he came from 10th place over a sloppy, sealed track to win by a neck.

If he can find a sit a few lengths off the pace under Eclipse Award-winning jockey Flavien Prat, he should be in the clear to launch a winning bid.

Another interesting horse is fellow four-year-old Tappan Street. He broke his maiden at seven furlongs, then stepped up in class and distance to finish second in the Grade 3 Holy Bull, beaten by Grade 1 Blue Grass winner Burnham Square.

Two months later, Tappan Street produced a career-best effort in the Florida Derby. Racing over the same distance as the Pegasus World Cup, he beat Kentucky Derby and Horse of the Year winner Sovereignty by a length and a quarter.

Injury kept Tappan Street out of the classics and he didn’t race again until December 19th, when he returned to win a mile allowance race at Gulfstream Park.

If Tappan Street moves forward in his second start back, he can be in the mix on his return to Grade 1 company.

The Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational Stakes (9.45pm) looks open and Chad Brown can go close again with Program Trading. The Lope De Vega colt is a lot better than his 10th to Notable Speech in the Breeders’ Cup Mile.

Shug McGaughey’s Cugino looks the danger but Test Score represents better value. Winner of the Grade 1 Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes last July, he should improve on his third in the Hollywood Derby last time. David Egan travels to ride Beach Gold for Patrick Biancone.

Earlier on the card, the Grade 2 Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf Invitational Stakes has Oisin Murphy in with a shout on board Breath Away for trainer Miguel Clement and Qatar Racing.

Chad Brown’s Whiskey Decision and Flavien Prat are morning line favourites.
