The 2026 Pegasus World Cup (official website) takes place this Saturday, January 24th at Gulfstream Park in Florida. This years prize pool has remained at $3 million with no entry fee. The Pegasus World Cup is a prestigious race with a large purse that entices some of the top horses in the world to participate.
Disco Time, White Abarrio, and Tappan Street are the three top contenders heading into this years race according to the morning line odds.
This is a massive race that brings eyes back to horse racing a few months after the Breeders’ Cup. I know a lot of people are excited to get back to betting on horses this season. Below I’ve outlined the early odds for the race and also provided a quick 3 step guide for Canadians to get your Pegasus World Cup bets in this year.
2026 Pegasus World Cup Betting Odds
Here are the morning line odds for the race (and post positions):
- Disco Time 8-5
- British Isles 20-1
- Full Serrano 12-1
- Banishing 20-1
- Skippylongstocking 15-1
- Madaket Road 10-1
- Tappan Street 6-1
- Poster 20-1
- Captain Cook 15-1
- Mika 10-1
- White Abarrio 4-1
- Brotha Keny 30-1
As you can see Disco Time is the favourite, while White Abarrio and Tappan Street are the other top contenders. After these three favourites Madaket Road and Mika have odds of 10-1, while Full Serrano has odds of 12-1.
I like White Abarrio to win this race. He is the defending champion and he drew the same post position that he won from last year (post 11). At 7-years-old he has a ton of experience in big races and he has found success in elite fields in the past with wins at the Breeders’ Cup Classic and Whitney Stakes in 2023 to go along with his Pegasus World Cup win last year. Add in the fact that this race is a significant step up in competition for the other two top contenders (Disco Time and Tappan Street) and I think White Abarrio could defend his title on Saturday.
