At 0h03, on January 21, 2026 • By Gulfstream Park
Juddmonte’s Disco Time was installed as the 8-5 morning-line favorite for a bid to remain undefeated in next Saturday’s $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) at Gulfstream Park following Sunday’s Post Position Draw
The 4-year-old son of Not This Time, who drew Post #1 for the 10th anniversary running of the 1 1/8-mile stakes for 4-year-olds and up, will seek to run his career record to 6-for-6 while facing 11 rivals in the ‘Win and You’re In’ Breeders’ Cup Challenge race for the Classic, including C2 Racing Stable LLC, Gary Barber and La Milagrosa Stable LLC’s White Abarrio.
The Pegasus World Cup will be featured on the 10th anniversary celebration program, along with the $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational (G1), a 1 1/8-mile turf stakes for 4-year-olds and up, and the $500,000 Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G2), a 1 1/18-mile turf stakes for older fillies and mares.
Trainer Brad Cox, who saddled Knicks Go for a 2 ¼-length victory in the 2021 Pegasus World Cup, named Flavien Prat to ride Disco Time, who came off an eight-month layoff following his triumph in the Le Comte (G3) at Fair Grounds last March to romp to victory in the Sept.19 St. Louis Derby at Fairmount Park and the Nov. 8 Dwyer at Aqueduct.
Cox will also be represented in the Pegasus World Cup by WinStar Farm LLC, CHC Inc., Cold Press Racing and Qatar Racing’s Tappan Street, who drew Post #7. The son of Into Mischief, who is rated at 8-1 on the morning line, captured the $1 million Curlin Florida Derby (G1) last March at Gulfstream and recently returned from a long layoff to win an optional claiming allowance at Gulfstream Dec. 19. Luis Saez has the mount.
