Skippylongstocking (Exaggerator) and O’Connor (Chi) (Boboman) each turned in works Saturday morning at Palm Meadows towards an intended appearance in the $3-million GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational S.
Owned by Daniel Alonso, Skippylongstocking won this year’s GII Charles Town Classic and was last seen finishing third to Cody’s Wish (Curlin) in the GI Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile Nov. 4. The soon-to-be 5-year-old covered a half-mile in :49.40 (20/64).
O’Connor, campaigned by Mike Iavarone and partners, was a sound fourth in last year’s Pegasus and is arguably in better form this season, having taken out Keeneland’s GII Fayette S. Oct. 28. The Southern Hemisphere 6-year-old also went four furlongs Saturday, stopping the clock in :49.45 (22/64).
Also on the Palm Meadows tab was Ny Traffic (Cross Traffic), who went a half in :49.50 in preparation for the Dec. 30 GIII Harlan’s Holiday S.
