Pegasus Turf Invitational History
Founded in 1986 as the Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap, this annual race was run at a distance of 1 and 1/16 miles until 1990. From 1991 to 2008, the race was lengthened to 11 furlongs (or 1 and 3/8 miles). During those years numerous race records were set that still stand today including the following:
- Most wins: 2 – Einstein (2006, 2008)
- Most wins by a jockey: 7 – Jerry Bailey (1992, 1993, 1994, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2003)
- Most wins by a trainer: 5 – Bill Mott (1993, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001)
In 2009, the race distance was reduced to 9 furlongs. In 2019, the race evolved into the Pegasus World Cup Turf Stakes, with each entrant having to pay a $500k entry fee along with an extra $1 million from the race organizer. The total purse for that 2019 race was a whopping $7 million with the winner taking home $3 million. In 2020, the race (along with the main Pegasus World Cup race on dirt) adopted an invitational format with no entry fees and a purse that was limited to the organizer contribution.
