Fear the Cowboy (Cowboy Cal) has been confirmed as the 11th starter in the Jan. 27 GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Gulfstream Park. Co-owned by Raffaele Centofanti and Kathleen Amaya, Fear the Cowboy will run in the Pegasus for the partnership of Stronach Stables and Ronald and Jerry Frankel.
“It's a really tough race,” trainer Efren Loza, Jr. said. “Our horse is really in good form. He loves Gulfstream. I know this is a big challenge, but our horse is in the peak form of his career. He's a horse who, when you put him in with good competition, he will work hard. He's the kind of horse who puts in enough effort to make a good race.”
Fear the Cowboy, who will be making his first Grade I start in the Pegasus, is coming off a win in the Dec. 16 GIII Harlan's Holiday S. He also won the GIII Skip Away S. at Gulfstream last March.
The 6-year-old is expected to breeze Saturday in Ocala and ship to Gulfstream Park Jan. 24.
