Test Score Leads Home Motion 1-2 In Pegasus Turf

[Wandering Eyes]

Amerman Racing's TEST SCORE (c, 4, Lookin At Lucky–Joy Of Learning, by Kitten's Joy) continued a phenomenal afternoon for the newly turned 4-year-olds on the grass at Gulfstream Park, as he emerged from the pack to take out the $1-million GI Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational, just holding off a late surge from his very well-backed stablemate One Stripe (SAf) (One World {SAf}).

Off at odds of 7-1 in his first start outside of age-restricted competition, the rail-drawn homebred secured the perfect spot two back on the fence in the box seat as Cabo Spirit (Pioneerof the Nile) made the running for Hall of Famer Mike Smith. Ridden for luck, with favored Program Trading (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) stalking his every move from the fence a few lengths adrift, Test Score was angled sharply to the outside of the pacesetter in upper stretch, edged to the lead and proved narrowly best. One Stripe, hammered at the tills in the late stages to jump at odds of 4-1, sat a midfield trip for leading South African jockey Gavin Lerena, came widest for the drive and was getting to the winner. Almendares (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) finished a longshot third.
