With Saturday’s win in the 1 1/8-mile stakes, White Abarrio improved to seven victories and a second in nine career races at Gulfsream, where his lone off-the-board finish came in the 2023 Pegasus when he finished eighth.

White Abarrio won the $3 million Pegasus World Cup by 6 1/4 lengths at Gulfstream on Saturday. He ran 1 1/8 miles in 1:48.05 under jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., who earned his third career Pegasus victory. Sent off at 5-2 odds, White Abarrio paid $7.60, $3.80 and $3.

Trained by Saffie Joseph Jr, who previously saddled the six-year-old to four victories including the Grade 1 Florida Derby in 2022, White Abarrio ran out an impressive six-and-a-quarter-length winner over the 9-5 favourite Locked.
