Horse racing: Skippylongstocking wins Pegasus World Cup in upset
Skippylongstocking and jockey Tyler Gaffalione rallied on the outside for a $45.20 upset in the Pegasus World Cup Invitational on Saturday, denying his Saffie Joseph Jr. barnmate White Abarrio a repeat in the $3 million race for older horses at Gulfstream Park in Florida.
Seven-year-old Skippylongstocking regained the form of his win in the Hollywood Gold Cup at Santa Anita last spring.
Test Score ($17.20), set up by a strong autumn in California, won the $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational with rider Manny Franco as One Stripe completed a 1-2 finish for trainer Graham Motion.
At Santa Anita, Bob Baffert-trained Nafisa ($6.60) and jockey Kazushi Kimura won the $100,000 La Canada Stakes for fillies and mares.
