Jet Set Racing Stable's Super Corinto came out of Wednesday's strong five-furlong breeze in preparation for a scheduled start in the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) at Gulfstream Park Jan. 28 in good order, trainer Amador Sanchez reported Thursday.
A Group 1 winner in Chile, Super Corinto was timed in 1:00.22 over a wet track for his second workout at Gulfstream Park following his first U.S. win in a Dec. 8 optional claiming allowance.
“Super Corinto came out really well from his last start, and he is doing very well at the track, he will work again 5F next Tuesday,” Sanchez said. “I think he will be at his top for the Pegasus World Cup.”
The Argentine-bred son of Super Saver captured his final start in Chile in the Gran Premio Hipodromo Chile (G1), in which he defeated Group 1 winner O'Connor, who is scheduled to prep for the Pegasus World Cup in Saturday's $150,000 Harlan's Holiday (G3) at Gulfstream after winning his U.S. debut. Super Corinto had previously finished second behind O'Connor in the Longines Gran Premio Latinoamericano.
Super Corinto finished second in a 1 1/16-mile optional claiming allowance in his U.S. debut Nov. 12, in which he was caught late by a multiple-stakes winner Noble Drama in a mile optional claiming allowance.
