At 0h03, on January 22, 2026 • By Gulfstream Park
Six millionaires, four Grade 1 winners and three trainers chasing an unprecedented third victory in the richest grass event of the winter help comprise a star-studded field set to contest Saturday’s $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf (G1) at Gulfstream Park.
The eighth running of the Pegasus Turf for 4-year-olds and up, scheduled for 1 1/8 miles on the grass, is part of a blockbuster program that features 10 stakes, seven graded, worth $5.675 million in purses including the $3 million Pegasus World Cup (G1) and $500,000 TAA Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G2).
Post time for the first of 13 races is 11 a.m. The Pegasus Turf will go off as Race 12, with a scheduled post time of 4:54 p.m. NBC will provide live national television coverage from 4:30 to 6 p.m.
Introduced in 2019, the Pegasus Turf’s list of winners includes 2019 Horse of the Year Bricks and Mortar; two-time European Group 1 heroine Warm Heart, the lone filly winner; and Colonel Liam, the only two-time winner having captured consecutive runnings in 2021 and 2022.
Trainer Graham Motion, seeking his first Pegasus Turf win, will send out the Grade 1-winning pair of Test Score and One Stripe. Amerman Racing’s 4-year-old homebred Test Score is coming off a breakthrough sophomore campaign where he registered three wins, one second, three thirds and $1.36 million in purse earnings from eight starts.
Never beaten by more than four lengths in 2025, Test Score notched wins in the Transylvania (G3) at Keeneland, Belmont Derby (G1) at Saratoga and Twilight Derby (G2) at Santa Anita before finishing the season running third by a half-length in the Hollywood Derby (G1) Nov. 29 at Del Mar. This will be his first time facing older horses.
