Skippylongstocking Pulls Off Major Upset in Pegasus

Skippylongstocking delivered a stunning upset on Saturday, winning the $3 million Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park. The 21-1 long shot, ridden by Tyler Gaffalione, rallied in the stretch to defeat White Abarrio, who was aiming to be the first horse to win the prestigious race in consecutive years.

Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. expressed mixed emotions, proud of both his horses. While White Abarrio, a favorite, was unable to secure the repeat win, Skippylongstocking's victory marked a career-defining moment. The 7-year-old horse's win also boosted his lifetime earnings significantly, and jockey Tyler Gaffalione finally claimed his long-awaited Pegasus victory after participating in all ten editions of the race.
