Unbeaten in five career starts, Juddmonte homebred Disco Time (Not This Time) will put his perfect record on the line in the $3-million GI Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park Jan. 24. "At the moment, he's got a lot of unknown about him," Juddmonte USA General Manager Garrett O'Rourke said. "He's coming off two impressive performances, he's unbeaten and he's by the hottest stallion out there. Those are all the positives. I suppose the negatives are, well, what has he beaten yet? He's out of a sprinter, does he want...

You probably won't find the name Touchuponastar (Star Guitar) on anyone's 2025 Eclipse Award ballot. Fanfare just doesn't come easily for a Louisiana-bred who has spent most of his career competing against fellow state breds. But the 7-year-old gelding is unquestionably one of the fastest horses in the sport. Is he fast enough to win the Jan. 24 GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes at Gulfstream Park? It appears he may just be given that chance. When the names of horses invited to the $3 million race were released, Touchuponastar...

Wathnan Racing's newly minted 3-year-old Commandment (Into Mischief) ran to the billing as the 1-2 favorite with a dominating win in Saturday's Mucho Macho Man S. going a one-turn mile at Gulfstream Park. Drawn on the fence, the $500,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase was fourth through opening fractions of :24.09 and :47.38. All dressed up with nowhere to go at the top of the stretch, Commandment bulled his way through in between horses beneath Irad Ortiz, Jr. and leveled off beautifully from there to win going away by 6 3/4...

Woodslane homebred Sister Troienne (Munnings), already on a three-race win streak, kicked off 2026 with a bang, driving clear to seize the one-mile Ginger Brew Stakes at Gulfstream Park Saturday. The chestnut settled nicely on the outside in a tracking spot about a length and a half behind 23-1 Laigina (Leinster) through a :24 first quarter. The 1-5 choice, Sister Troienne edged up to the frontrunner's hip as the half clocked in :47.87, drew on even terms on the turn, and wrested command before rider Mario Gutierrez made any perceptible...

7th-GP, 84K, Msw, 3yo, f, 1m, 3:18 p.m. The Danny Gargan-trained SONG OF SARAH (Curlin) makes her Gulfstream Park debut Sunday for owners CSLR Racing Partners, R. A. Hill Stable and Belmar Racing and Breeding. The $140,000 Keeneland September yearling turned $500,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale grad of last year is the latest foal out of Canadian Champion Older Mare Embur's Song who banked north of $616,000 in her own racing career including a track record-setting score in Keeneland's GIII Hilliard Lyons Doubledogdare Stakes. Embur's Song is also a half-sister to...

Nearly (Not This Time), who could make the starting gate for the GIII Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park Jan. 31, was well-beaten on debut during the Belmont At The Big A meet Oct. 26. Shipping to South Florida to face state breds, the dark bay won by an eye-catching 9 1/4 lengths Nov. 22. Tabbed as the 6-5 second choice after the pre-race scratch of intended favorite Mob (Gun Runner), Nearly was bumped hard by Confessional (Essential Quality) at the break, which put him several lengths behind coming on...

Lea Farms' Thunder Chuck (Good Magic) will make his first start beyond 6 1/2 furlongs when he goes postward in the one-mile Mucho Macho Man Stakes at Gulfstream Park Saturday. Trainer Jorge Delgado said he is hoping the race is a first step towards a possible trip on the Triple Crown trail for the chestnut gelding. "We're trying to see how far we can get with him. Hopefully, this will be a step to the graded stakes on the route to the Derby," Delgado said. "The horse has been good...

   In this series, the TDN takes a look at notable successes of European-based sires in North America. This holiday edition is highlighted by the victory of No Pressure in Florida. Florida Clime The Answer For No Pressure Lindy Farms' No Pressure (No Nay Never) rolled to a three-quarter length victory stretching out over the Gulfstream turf for Philip Antonacci on Boxing Day (video).

Very near the final hour, the Florida Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association (FHBPA) and Gulfstream Park have landed on a three-year live racing agreement, some details of which were shared in joint press releases issued Tuesday. This agreement is a federal requirement for a racetrack to conduct live racing and simulcast its signal nationwide. Gulfstream Park, owned by The Stronach Group (TSG), is statutorily required to conduct a minimum of 40-days live racing to operate its casino. Without a horsemen's agreement, Gulfstream Park would still have been able to conduct...

Waymark (Liam's Map) made his debut a winning one as he ran to his 3-2 odds here. At the bell as a blitz for the top spot ensued, the colt watched from the outside up the backstretch. The 2-year-old flexed his muscles with a four-wide move around the far turn and picked up fellow 'Insight' runner High Camp (Instagrand). Blazing down the lane, Waymark aimed for the wire and scored, but High Camp put in a game effort with some late speed of his own. Autobahn (Nyquist), another 'Insight' horse,...

In a race initially billed as a showdown between this year's GI Pegasus World Cup winner White Abarrio (Race Day) and the up-and-coming 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Knightsbridge (Nyquist), Saturday's GIII Mr. Prospector Stakes turned into a parade for the latter as the Godolphin homebred took advantage of an overmatched field to earn his first graded stakes win. Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. had been clear earlier in the week that White Abarrio was not 100% to start Saturday and, once that rail-drawn runner was officially scratched Friday, Knightsbridge...
