This Saturday, Gulfstream Park will host the Pegasus World Cup Invitational, a Grade 1 stakes race that will feature a field of 12 horses looking to make horse racing news with the win. There is $3 million up for grabs in this race and we now know where each of the horses will start, with the post draw made on Wednesday. Let’s take a quick look at the draw, as well as a little about each horse.
Pegasus World Cup Entries
1. Sleepy Eyes Todd (8-1) – This is a horse on a nice run of form, winning 3 of its last 4 races, including a win at Gulfstream Park last month.
2. Coastal Defense (20-1) – This is a horse that has only had 9 races as he enters his 5th year. He has won a couple, but he has never won a stakes race.
3. Independence Hall (20-1) – Much better at shorter distances, where he has won 4 of 5, Independence Hall has failed to impress in 2-turn races.
4. Knicks Go (5-2) – With Mucho Gusto and Charlatan skipping this race, Knicks Go is now in as the morning line favorite on Saturday. Can he make horse racing news with the win?
5. Jesus’ Team (8-1) – One to watch here. He finished 3rd in the Preakness last season and 2nd behind Knicks Go in the Breeders Cup Mile, a race he started at 62-1.
6. Kiss Today Goodbye (10-1) – This is a horse that is rounding into form after a slow start to his career, winning back-to-back races ahead of this one.
7. Tax (5-1) – This will be the second straight appearance in the Pegasus for Tax, who finished 9th last year after stumbling out of the gate.
8. Harpers First Ride (10-1) – Another horse on a nice run of form. He has won 4 of his last 5, including a pair of smaller stakes races at Laurel Park.
9. Last Judgement (20-1) – He loves this distance, but he has also not had a ton of success in graded stakes races.
10. Code of Honor (9-2) – He has been on a bit of a poor run since a pair of graded stakes race wins in 2019. He did win his last time out at Gulfstream.
11. Mr. Freeze (15-1) – He had a nice win at the Fayette Stakes (G2) at Keeneland last October, but this is a bit of a step up.
12. Math Wizard (20-1) – He won the Pennsylvania Derby (G1) in 2019, but he has failed to get in the money in 6 of his last 7 races.
