Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational

The inaugural running of the event was on 2 March 1986, on the last day of a 71-day annual winter meeting as the Gulfstream Park Breeders Cup Handicap, the tenth race on the under-card of Florida Derby day. The event had additional sponsorship from the Breeders' Cup which gave the event immediate recognition and value. The event was won by Craig B. Singer's Irish-bred five-year-old Sondrio who started at odds of 7/1 and ran the miles distance in 1:40.60 winning by lengths. Budweiser sponsorship continued for nine years ceasing after the 1995 running of the event. In 1994 the event was transferred to the dirt track and held over a distance of miles. ==Records==
