The ninth Pegasus is Saturday at Gulfstream Park, and with a 13-race card and competitive marquee events, this could be the year it breaks the $50 million barrier.

Looking at the results....
All the categories were generally lopsided in voting except for older turf male and trainer (101-88) with Chad Brown edging Kenny McPeek.
 
gulfstream park race 7. irad on the 3 drifts inward towards davis on the 7. infractions due to contact i guess doesn't matter anymore. stewards reasoning for upholding the 3 is that the infraction would not have affected the outcome. what???????
 
In the Gulf opener, the 1 wired the field under a beautiful sunny day. More than $2.2 million bet in the opening race. It is a general principle at Gulf that outside posts don't run favorably. We shall see if that is the rule of today.
 
An interesting story in the Ky. Derby prep at Oaklawn today with 17-year-old Tyler Bacon riding for 89-year-old Hall-of-Famer Wayne Lukas. Bacon began riding roughly a year ago at Columbus (NE).

Going from a small track offering $6500 purses in Nebraska to the national stage at Oaklawn and a $1,000,000+ opportunity speaks not only of trust the trainer put in the teenager but is an incredible meteoric rise.

Gulf's second race on Saturday had a 1-to-2 Gun Runner colt debuting: ridden by Irad, owned by Repole, trained by Pletcher and a $1.15 million price tag. All that wasn't enough. He folded in the stretch.

Good luck to anyone playing a 1-to-2 shot making a debut in any circumstance.

$4 million (approx) bet through two races.

if pletcher and irad teamed together on 100 mounts with each going off at 1 to 2 odds i'll book all of those bets every single time.
 
What a gutsy win for San Saba in Santa Anita's third race. Second-time starter for Bob Baffert. A $775,000 Justify colt dueled a $500,000 Maclean's Music Maryland-bred.
 
White Abarrio (Irad Ortiz, Jr./Saffie Joseph, Jr.) win the Pegasus World Cup, retribution for the trainer after the horse was once removed from his barn.

Speed King won the Ky..Derby prep at Oaklawn. The owner said he lives two blocks away from the track.

Eric Cancel had at one time a propensity for winning finales in NY, or so it seemed. Yesterday he rode a $79 winner to victory in the last race and that helped a $.50.Pick 5 returned $179,000.

  • Brad Cox sent out 14 horses at five tracks and totaled three wins, all at Oaklawn.
  • Chad Brown, just named Trainer of the Year in North America for 2024, had four winners across tracks.

  • Chalk: Favorites lost all nine races.
  • Race 7: An 18-to-1 and a 61-to-1 combined for a $521 $1 exacta.
