DRF Pegasus World Cup PPs
| PP | Horse | Trainer | Odds | Wiz Capper Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Singing Bullet | Dale Romans | 30 to 1 | Would be a huge upset as his participation is strictly by necessity as the race filler. |
| 2 | West Coast | Bob Baffert | 8 to 1 | 2 for 2 at distance and cutting back to it. Chance to upset. |
| 3 | Stellar Wind | Chad Brown | 30 to 1 | Mare goes 1st time out for new trainer Brown and new jockey Rosario. 0 for 4 at distance and not much upside for what might be her final race. |
| 4 | Sharp Azteca | Jorge Navarro | 6 to 1 | 2nd in ’17 BC Dirt Mile. Won Cigar Mile last time out. Will have to carry speed longer than he’s done before. Castellano sticks with West Coast. |
| 5 | Collected | Bob Baffert | 8 to 1 | Pressed Gun Runner every step in BC Classic to top stablemate West Coast for the place. 2 for 2 at distance when allowed to set pace but won’t have that luxury here. |
| 6 | Gunnevera | Antonio Sano | 15 to 1 | Biggest win of his career was ’17 FOY. 2nd place finish in Travers was nice and cuts back on a track he likes. Chance at a price. |
| 7 | Fear the Cowboy | Efren Loza Jr | 30 to 1 | Biggest test of his career over track he favors. Exits G3 win but realistically out of his league. |
| 8 | War Story | Jorge Navarro | 25 to 1 | Can’t win if you don’t play. Tried Gun Runner last three outings to finish 4th in each and w/o making up ground. |
| 9 | Toast of New York | James Osborne | 20 to 1 | 7 year old raced only nine times in career. Runner-up in ’14 BC Classic. Returned 3 years later to win first race back at Lingfield wearing blinkers 1st time ever. Dettori sticks and says why not. |
| 10 | Gun Runner | Steve Asmussen | 4 to 5 | Final stop for HOY champ. Winner of 6 of last 7 will be making 1st trip at GP cutting back to favorable distance. 20% chance of rain on Saturday. 80% chance of rain on Sunday. Does not like it off. Ouch! |
| 11 | Seeking the Soul | Dallas Stewart | 25 to 1 | Deep closer on a 2 race win streak. 1st G1 LTO in Clark at this distance. Picks up 8 lbs. from last over new surface. |
| 12 | Giant Expectations | Peter Eurton | 30 to 1 | NY bred sitting on two bullets after biggest win of his career LTO in the G2 San Antonio over Collected. High, wide and outside but Stevens says don’t count him out. So we won’t. But he’ll have plenty of company upfront. |
