Since its inception in 2017, the Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes Presented by Baccarat at Gulfstream Park has successfully bum-rushed the North American racing calendar and made an impression comparable with hoofprints from the gigantic statue of the winged equine icon of Greek mythology that resides at the Hallandale, Fla. track. 

Horse racing’s equivalent of the Academy Awards takes place Thursday, Jan. 23 with the 54th annual Eclipse Awards, held at The Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Fla.

After earning the Jockey Guild’s top jockey of the week to start off the new year, Kendrick Carmouche tacked on five more wins last week and now leads the 2025 Equibase standings for North American jockeys by wins and earnings with 13 wins and $589,050 in earnings (all statistics through Jan. 14).

The Road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve gets a tad more important Saturday as the Lecomte Stakes ushers in a slate of preps worth a total of 42 qualifying points. The first five finishers in the two-turn test at Fair Grounds will receive 20-10-6-4-2 points in descending order.
