Dallas Stewart said Forever Unbridled, the Breeders’ Cup Distaff winner who was under Pegasus consideration, won’t start in the race. Forever Unbridled worked on Dec. 11, but Stewart said he has no plans to work the mare in coming days, and that he was slowing down her training right now. Stewart said plans call for Forever Unbridled to race again in 2018.

Stronach's own royally-bred Singing Bullet (Hard Spun x Life At Ten) runs in an optional claimer at Gulfstream tomorrow. He may run in the Pegasus if he turns in a good effort per trainer Dale Romans:

Singing Bullet enters his 3-year-old finale off a 3 1/4-length optional-claiming victory over Conquest Windycity going a mile last month at Churchill Downs, for which he earned a career-best 95 Beyer Speed Figure.

As for the Pegasus World Cup, Romans said a good performance here Friday could earn Singing Bullet a slot in the event on Jan. 27.

“I know he doesn’t have the credentials of a lot of those horses who’ll be in the race, but we’re a horse going up and maybe we can catch some of the others going down,” Romans said. “Strange things can happen in a race like that, as we know.”

Just watched tape of Sharp Azteca work had him from the 1/2 in 22.20, 46.12 out 5/8's in 58.75 didn't pull up until he was back past the half-mile pole again. Very impressive.

I was curious to see how he did, so I checked the Gulfstream results. He finished 4th, so I doubt that The Pegasus is in his future.

Add Giant Expectations to the field. TVG just announced that his connections have entered into an agreement with the Stronach Group. Just two openings left.

Sharp Azteca is a beast. Not sure he's a 9f beast, but if he goes, Gun Runner is going to have some company. . .

Can he carry his talent that far? It's hard to say, but being by Freud with Saint Liam and Conquistador Cielo on the bottom certainly can't hurt.
