HALLANDALE BEACH - Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. called Saturday’s Pegasus World Cup Day at Gulfstream Park as “one of the best days of my career.”

    Not only did Joseph saddle Be Your Best to victory in the Gr. II TAA Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf presentation by Sir Davis American Whisky, and Mystic Lake in the Gr. II Inside Information, but he capped off his day by winning the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational with White Abarrio.

    “In general, you win with Mystic Lake and you win with Be Your Best, that would be a great day in its own right,” Joseph said. “To have the story unfold with White Abarrio. It comes full circle and to end like that, it’s almost like a movie. A dream, basically.”

    Joseph said White Abarrio, Be Your Best, Mystic Lake and Skippylongstocking, who finished third in the Pegasus World Cup, “all bounced out well.”

    “The ownership group is going to speak to each other and decide on what happens with [White] Abarrio. The Saudi Cup is possible.”

    Sunday’s mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 returned $37,865. There was $4,115,143 of new money in the pool and a carryover of $559,027.

    The all-sources handle for the Pegasus program was a monumental $41,700,226.
