Gulfstream Park Pegasus World Cup Day Picks | Race-by-Race Analysis – 1/24/26

Gulfstream Park Race 9 William L McKnight Stakes Grade 3

3 Ohana Honor gets the tepid nod in a race that many in here can win. This Roan is still seeking his first Graded Stakes win. He was last seen dominating the Knickerbocker Stakes at the Big A two months ago. He has been training lights out since at Payson Park and appears to be sitting on a top effort. Win Contender

6 Missed the Cut makes his second start off the layoff after finishing a fast closing third versus a salty group of Allowance/Optional 62.5k foes over this turf course. This Bobby Dibona trainee won a Grade 3 when making his second start off a layoff, at this very distance. I like his chances here. Win Contender 

11 Divin Propos is another in here who has looked sharp in the morning drills. Don’t Ignore

Selections 3,6,11,1

Gulfstream Park Race 10 Pegasus World Cup F&M Turf Stakes Grade 2

12 Movin’ On Up disappointed two races back when finishing a non-threatening 9th in the Grade 3 Ladies Classic at Kentucky Downs. Mare ran much better last out when finishing second in a local Stakes here, losing by just a head. Gal has been training forwardly since and offers a great value at 12-1 on the morning line. Win Contender 

13 Candy Quest (AE) is on the also eligible list so she’ll need a scratch to get in. If she makes it to the starting gate, I love her chances here. Filly sports the best late pace figures in here and has run well on the Gulfstream green. Live Longshot
7 Whiskey Decision has won her last 2 of 3 races for trainer Chad Brown and has won 2 of 3 at this distance. Major Player

8 Proctor Street is in fine form and will need to move forward to get the W here. She just might be up to the task. Don’t Ignore

Selections 12-13(AE)-7-8-5

Gulfstream Park Race 12 Pegasus World Cup Turf Stakes Grade 1

10 Cugino has been a model of consistency throughout his career, finishing no worse than second in 11 of 14 career starts while sporting 6 trips to the winners circle. He fits well with these. Win Contender 

2 Program Trading is another in here who rarely runs a bad race. Roan enters here with the mighty Jockey/Trainer combo of Prat and Brown. Win Contender

8 Cabo Spirit has sharp early speed and if he can set some tepid fractions upfront, he’ll have something to say at the wire. Don’t Ignore

Selections 10-2-8-12

Gulfstream Park Race 13 Pegasus World Cup Grade 1

1 Disco Time was Kentucky Derby futures bet last year and unfortunately this Colt went down with an injury. He’s returned better than ever and has yet to be beaten in 5 career starts. This is a special Colt who I believe will dominate this field and I can’t wait till he takes on the mighty Sovereignty down the road. Top Play of The Day

7 Tappen Street has won 3 of 4 lifetime all here at Gulfstream with a win over superstar Sovereignty.  He’ been training since his December return win. Major Player

11 White Abbarrio is a beast when running here at Gulfstream,  winning 8 of 10 starts which includes a win in this race last year. Major Threat
