On Saturday, January 23, 2020, the Gulfstream Park will gather the best-thoroughbred horses on earth to contend in the 5th Pegasus World Cup Championship. This horse racing tournament holds a $3 million reward while getting the prestige of being the best racehorse in the world.

The 2021 Pegasus World Cup is attended by twelve horses competing in the dirt track. Last week, Charlatan expressed his absence in the Pegasus as he will head to the Saudi Cup to start his form this year. With his exit to the Pegasus running this weekend, there are significant movements in each participating horse’s odds ranking.

Remember that it’s important to understand every entry’s odds as this might be their fate inside the dirt track. Horse racing is a game of speed and power, so the betting odds of each entry are your basis on which one is closest to earning the victory. Hence, below is the twelve horses’ final odds ranking before the Pegasus happens in five days.

Mucho Gusto

The reigning Pegasus World Cup contender was invited back to defend his crown this year. Showing up at Saudi Cup and San Antonio Stakes last year, Mucho Gusto had both landed in 4th place. As he vies for a back-to-back Pegasus title, which will be the first in history when this happens, Mucho Gusto gets the top spot in the final ranking.

Code of Honor

Now a five-year-old colt, Code of Honor is heading to the Pegasus with a single title he earned last year at Westchester Stakes. After that, he became one of the horses to bet in other notable races but has only placed significantly. As the Pegasus running comes in a few more days, Code of Honor clinches the second spot in the odds ranking.

Tiz The Law

Sitting on the third slot in Pegasus odds ranking is Tiz The Law. This horse had gone through many victories last year, which made him a threat to many races. Besides, he was a legit Triple Crown contender, but his fate was cut short by Authentic in the Kentucky Derby. Finishing 6th place in the Breeders’ Cup, Tiz The Law is set to take revenge in the Pegasus Cup.

Knicks Go

This underdog came out as the dark horse in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile last November. Knicks Go had shown the skill of what a real racehorse is by sweeping the victory in Santa Anita. After his claim, he is one of the best colts to look forward to saddling at Gulfstream Park this weekend.

Jesus’ Team

Jim Dandy Stakes and Preakness Stakes were the races that Jesus’ Team participated in last year where he placed significantly. After that, he jousted at Breeder’s Cup but landed a step behind Knicks Go. As the Pegasus progresses this weekend, Jesus’ Team is reckoning a rematch between Knicks Go and other horses to conquer the title.

Kiss Today Goodbye

Defeating Mucho Gusto at the San Antonio Stakes, Kiss Today Goodbye earned the said race title last December 22 at Del Mar. With this, he earned a slot at the Pegasus to bout Mucho Gusto’s title. Not only that, but Kiss Today Goodbye is a big placer in other races like Shared Belief Stakes,  Del Mar Derby, and Twilight Derby.

Tax

It was a good day at Harlan’s Holiday Stakes, and Tax remained solid to earn the cup last month. This five-year-old racehorse is a strong contender at Gulfstream for the Pegasus running in the next few days. Besides, he is a returning Pegasus contender who landed in 5th place at Oaklawn Handicap.

True Timber

Another returning Pegasus contender this year is True Timber. His Cigar Mile finish last December led him to get a slot in the Pegasus this year. Before that, he was also a Lafayette Stakes and Forego Stakes big placer.  Today,  True Timber, Tax, and Mucho Gusto will see once again in Gulfstream Park to prove their worth as the veterans inside the dirt track.

Apart from the horse’s above, probable Pegasus racehorse contenders like Sleepy Eyes Todd, Mr. Freeze, Harper’s First Ride, and King Guillermo are in for this weeks’ Pegasus odds ranking.

Takeaway

The Pegasus World Cup not only opens the grandest horse racing tournaments to look forward to this year, but it also puts an end to the long-overdue debate of who’s the best-thoroughbred racers in today’s generation. Remember that colts who dominated last year’s notable races and even previous contenders are invited to this event.

Thus, it is expected that the Pegasus will give thundering noise at Gulfstream as the world’s top racehorses will line up. Make sure to find your bets now by looking into the final week ranking of probable 2021 Pegasus World Cup contenders.
