Multiple graded-stakes winner Skippylongstocking breezed five furlongs at Palm Meadows Training Center Saturday morning in preparation for a planned start in the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Gulfstream Park Jan. 27.
Included on the first invitation list for the headlining stakes of the annual celebration of world class racing, entertainment, fashion and food, Skippylongstocking was timed in 1:02.25 while working in company with stakes-winner Swirvin at Gulfstream’s satellite training facility in Palm Beach County.
Ridden by jockey Tyler Gaffalione, Skippylongstocking worked inside his Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained workmate before drawing clear in the stretch, timed in 1:02.25.
“They both went well. The worked together last week. Last week, they were kind of even. This week, Skippy pulled away from him by a couple lengths,” Joseph said. “Tyler worked him and was happy with him.”
