The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance’s $500,000 Pegasus World Cup Mare Turf Invitational Stakes at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 24 is the kind of race for me, with a deep and proficient forged of turf mares that even morning oddsmakers could not make heads or tails of. How else are you able to clarify that 11 out of 12 horses are locked in at odds of 9-2 to 12-1?
A robust case could be made for many of the runners – #14 Superior Czech, who can also be eligible, should miss two horses, however will strongly think about single-win and trifecta tickets – and even the lukewarm favorites should not with out apparent flaws.
#7 Whiskey Choice (9-2) He has by no means gained at Group 3 degree or larger and might be an over guess given the coach/jockey mixture of Chad Brown and Flavien Prat, however he confirmed some actual kick in his most up-to-date win, ending eighth in 11.13 seconds. Equally, #11 In Our Time (5-1) has completed within the prime three in every of his previous 5 begins, however has not gained a stakes race since November 2024 and has completed behind in his final two quick distance races. I am keen to let her beat me and search for one thing extra precious.
I just like the 12-1 three lengthy photographs probably the most. #3 Golden Future, #8 Proctor Roadand #9 Crevale d’Oroand I will likely be boxing with my favourite of the trio, Proctor Road, in Ekuta, who wins.
Proctor Road was a successful streak for coach Brendan Walsh, with jockey Tyler Gaffalione driving the filly Road Sense to a document of three wins and three losses. She has gained 4 of 5 races over this distance and has the flexibility to complete quick, clocking the ultimate furlong in over 11.51 seconds in a number of wins. She has been working steadily in the direction of this race and appears to be on an upward trajectory.
Destino d’Oro has gained two out of three races over this distance, and his most up-to-date outing was the Tropical Park Oaks on December thirteenth, when he gained on this turf course. Equally, Intelligent d’Oro rode a powerful late rally to a stakes victory within the Suwannee River Stakes on Dec. 20 over a mile on Gulfstream turf.
One of many individuals I’d be scared to guess on or quit my ticket for. #4 Breath Away (8-1)could also be one of the best finisher within the race, however he has solely performed one timed coaching session since December twenty fourth, and solely twice since his final race on November thirtieth.
