Knicks Go finished the distance in 1:47.89 on the sprint race, winning the estimated Beyer Speed Figure 108 that matches the amount he earned for his Dirt Mile triumph.

One race earlier in the morning, Colonel Liam's favorite line went down the home stretch to take the $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf (G1) in his first-ever game. He paid $7.00 for the victory, $4.20 for the position and $3.20 for the presentation.

This is the trainer/coach Todd Pletcher's first victory of the race. Eclipse finalist Irad Ortiz Jr. was on board. Ortiz Jr. has secured the 2019 Pegasus World Cup Turf with Bricks and Mortar.

The four-year-old colt, owned by Robert E. And Lawana L. Low secured an automatic entrance to the $1 million Middle Distance Turf Handicap, the $20 million Saudi Cup undercard race.

Pletcher also finished second, finisher Largent, Mike Maker's Cross Border reveals finishing third.

This was the third running of the Pegasus Turf. The winner of the 2019 inaugural over a soggy course was Bricks and Mortar, the eventual Horse of the Year, while the winner last January was Zulu Alpha, a finalist in the older turf-horse category at the upcoming 2020 Eclipse Awards.
