Cyberknife ‘on his toes’ for Pegasus World Cup

At 0h29, on January 27, 2023 By GULFSTREAM

Gold Square LLC’s Cyberknife was clearly enjoying himself as the 5-2 morning-line favorite for Saturday’s $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) presented by Baccarat schooled in the Gulfstream Park paddock and walking ring during Race 4.

“He’s acting like his normal self. He’s on his toes looking around. That’s him, he’s done that several times,” trainer Brad Cox said. “We’re super happy with the way he’s presenting himself.”

Cyberknife, a multiple Grade 1 stakes-winning son of 2018 Pegasus World Cup winner Gun Runner, is coming off a narrow hard-fought second-place finish behind Cody’s Wish in the Nov. 5 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1) at Keeneland. The Cox trainee will be making the final start of his career in the Pegasus World Cup before he embarks on a stallion career at Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, KY.

“This is it. He’s off to stud, which we’re excited about. I wish I could keep him around this year, but it is what it is,” said Cox, who saddled Knicks Go for a victory in the 2021 Pegasus as well as a second-place finish behind Life Is Good in last year’s edition. “I’m excited about him getting his stallion career underway. Hopefully, he can go out a winner. That’s what we’re here to do.”
