Starlight Racing will be represented by Neolithic in the upcoming $12 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational which is scheduled to be held for the first time on January 28 at Gulfstream Park.
Trained by Todd Pletcher, the dark bay colt is a son of former Starlight Racing color bearer Harlan’s Holiday and has won two of his seven career starts. After finishing a strong second in the Discovery Stakes (G3) in November, he came back to romp by nine-lengths in an allowance race at Gulfstream Park in December. Since that race, he has clocked a bullet workout on December 31 at Palm Beach Downs.
Jack Wolf, Starlight Racing’s founder and co-managing partner, is also the CEO of the Pegasus World Cup Invitational, and assembled a group of stakeholders to purchase a slot in the Pegasus World Cup called Starlight Pegasus Partners.
“The race is shaping up to be one for the ages with the likes of California Chrome and Arrogate,” said Wolf. “But, Neolithic showed some real talent and class with his win at Gulfstream Park last month and has been training great since that race. We are excited to be part of such a big day for horse racing.”
