Destino d’Oro Runs Down Rivals to Win Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf

[Wandering Eyes]

Destino d'Oro (Bolt d'Oro) ran them all down late in the lane to win the GII Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Gulfstream Park.

Content to watch the action unfold from the rear of the field as frontrunners posted opening splits of :23.43 and a half-mile in :46.87, Destino d'Oro was called on to improve her position as the field closed ranks after six panels in 1:10.41 and running room became something of a precious commodity for several competitors to her inside. Swinging into upper stretch with a full head of steam, Destino d'Oro took the overland route and rolled right by her rivals to win it well. Crevalle d'Oro (Constitution) ran on for second while Movin' On Up (Accelerate) claimed third. The final time was 1:40.33.

Destino d'Oro claimed the GIII Pucker Up Stakes last year at Ellis Park as well as the Tropical Park Oaks in her 2025 season cap at this venue.
