Jesus’ Team Fires Bullet in Pegasus Prep

GI Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile runner-up Jesus’ Team (Tapiture) worked a bullet five furlongs in :59.75 (1/6) Saturday at Palm Meadows in preparation for the GI Pegasus World Cup Jan. 23.

“He was very sharp. It was an amazing workout and an amazing gallop out too,” trainer Jose D’Angelo said. “I am very happy with the work today. I think we will have a big chance in the Pegasus World Cup.”

The conditioner added, “He will have two more breezes, six furlongs next week and four furlongs the next week. Then, he will be ready for the Pegasus.”

Third in the GI Preakness S. Oct. 3, Jesus’ Team was second in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile Nov. 7 and won the Claiming Crown Jewel S. Dec. 5.

American Pharoah Colt Stays Unbeaten On Turf in Dania Beach

Sent off the 16-5 second favorite to build on a front-running maiden victory over course and distance in his turf debut Dec. 19, Calumet Farm homebred Kentucky Pharoah (American Pharoah) repeated the dose Saturday, earning his first stakes success in the Dania Beach S. at Gulfstream.

Quickly into stride from gate two, Kentucky Pharoah had early company to his inside in the form of favored Fighting Force but was intent on rolling forward and was a clear leader turning up the backstretch. Bowling along at a good clip while racing a touch keenly, Kentucky Pharoah settled better on the turn and had plenty left for the final couple of furlongs, proving a comfortable winner in the end.

Kentucky Pharoah was off the board and beaten by double-digit lengths in his first two tries on dirt at Keeneland Oct. 24 and Churchill Nov. 15.

Kentucky Pharoah is the 13th black-type winner for his Triple Crown-winning stallion. The winner’s dam is also represented by a Gun Runner filly of 2019 and a Mr Speaker filly of 2020. She was bred to Goldencents for 2021.

“Fantastic ride,” winning trainer Jack Sisterson said. “We really put it in Kentucky Pharoah’s hands whether he could come back in two weeks. He’s energetic. He was either going to breeze [Sunday] at Palm Meadows, and he probably would have breezed too quick, so why not run him instead.”

Jesus’ Team Puts In ‘Bullet’ Workout In Preparation For Jan. 23 Pegasus

Grupo 7C Racing Stable's Jesus' Team tuned up for a planned start in the $3-million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (Grade 1) with a 'bullet' five-furlong workout Saturday morning at Palm Meadows Training Center.

The 4-year-old son of Tapiture who most recently captured the $150,000 Claiming Crown Jewel Dec. 2 at Gulfstream, was timed in 59.75 seconds for five furlongs at Gulfstream's satellite training facility in Palm Beach County.

“He was very sharp. It was an amazing workout and an amazing gallop out too,” trainer Jose D'Angelo said. “I am very happy with the work today. I think we will have a big chance in the Pegasus World Cup.”

The Pegasus World Cup and the $1-million Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational (G1) will co-headline the Jan. 23 program at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

“He will have two more breezes, six furlongs next week and four furlongs the next week. Then, he will be ready for the Pegasus,” D'Angelo said.

Jesus' Team, who broke his maiden for a $32,000 claiming price at Gulfstream last March, has been stakes-placed in his last five starts, including a third-place finish in the Oct. 3 Preakness Stakes (G1) and a second-place finish in the Nov. 7 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1) at Keeneland.

Tampa Bay Derby (G2) winner King Guillermo breezed a half-mile in 47.66 seconds at Gulfstream Park Saturday morning. The son of Uncle Mo finished fourth in the Dec. 5 Cigar Mile (G1) at Aqueduct while coming off a seven-month layoff.

Friday’s Stronach 5 Turns Into $196.30 ‘Chalkfest’ With Five Short-Priced Winners

Short prices resulted in 863 winning tickets in Friday's Stronach 5 with each ticket worth $196.30.

The Stronach 5 featured races from Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita Park and Laurel Park as well as an industry-low 12-percent takeout and two stakes races.

The sequence started with Laurel's eighth race and Belle Tapisserie ($7) winning off the claim for trainer Kieron Magee. The $2.50-1 Belle Tapisserie turned out to be the largest-priced winner of the day.

The $75,000 Janus, run as Gulfstream's ninth race and the second leg of the sequence, was won by 4-5 favorite Imprimis ($3.60), coming off a horrible trip in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (G1) in which he was stopped and steadied down the stretch.

The third leg of the sequence was Laurel's ninth race and 2-5 favorite Lady Fox ($2.80) won as easy as she pleased for the Claudio Gonzalez barn. The fourth leg of the Stronach 5 moved to Santa Anita and its third race. Translate ($3.40), a 4-year-old who had finished second in all three of her previous starts at Belmont Park, broke through and made it to the winner's circle.

The Stronach 5 wrapped up at Gulfstream with the $75,000 Cash Run. Gulf Coast ($6.40), second last out in the Sandpiper at Tampa Bay and a $300,000 yearling, rolled to his second win in three starts.

Friday's races and sequence

Leg One – Laurel Park 8^th Race: Belle Tapisserie $7
Leg Two –Gulfstream Park 9th Race: Imprimis $3.60
Leg Three –Laurel Park 9^th Race: Lady Fox $2.80
Leg Four – Santa Anita Park 3^rd Race: Translate $3.40
Leg Five –Gulfstream Park 10^th Race: Gulf Coast $6.40

Fans can watch and wager on the action at 1/ST.COM/BET as well as stream all the action in English and Spanish at LaurelPark.com, SantaAnita.com, GulfstreamPark.com, and GoldenGateFields.com.

The Stronach 5 In the Money podcast, hosted by Jonathan Kinchen and Peter Thomas Fornatale, will be posted by 2 p.m. Thursday at InTheMoneyPodcast.com and will be available on iTunes and other major podcast distributors

The minimum wager on the multi-race, multi-track Stronach 5 is $1. If there are no tickets with five winners, the entire pool will be carried over to the next Friday.

If a change in racing surface is made after the wagering closes, each selection on any ticket will be considered a winning selection. If a betting interest is scratched, that selection will be substituted with the favorite in the win pool when wagering closes.

The Maryland Jockey Club serves as host of the Stronach 5.
