“She’s a Great Filly”: After Major G1 Pegasus World Cup Turf Win, 40-Year-Old Jockey Shares Candid Confession

The American horse racing fans are having a blast. Several major races, including the Pegasus World Cup, were among the most anticipated races of the 2024 season. There were other categories in the G1 race, and each one was spectacular to see. Among these intriguing races was the 1/ST BET Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational, which included a purse of $1 million.

At Gulfstream Park, the filly Warm Heart triumphed over the eleven male horses in the event. Both the filly’s trainer, Aidan O’Brien, and jockey, Ryan Moore, were pleased with this monumental milestone in the horse’s career. Just after the race, in the post-race interview, the English jockey shared his honest thoughts on the winning filly.

Leaving a mark at the Pegasus World Cup Turf

Aidan O’Brien, the filly’s trainer, was pleased with her performance. However, Ryan Moore, who rode the filly to her victory, was the one most fascinated. Although the three-time champion jockey has been on several horses that have won significant races, Warm Heart is one of them that stands out the most. In a post-race interview that was uploaded on the X profile of At The Race, the rider praised the consistency of the filly. Speaking of Warm Heart, he went on to remark, “She’s a great filly.” Regarding the filly’s track record, Moore added that she never had a “bad race” whenever the jockey was on the saddle.

Prior to the G1 race, Warm Heart was seen at Gulfstream Park for morning practice a few days ago. In the time leading up to the event, the filly had become a favorite among the fans. It was a race full of colts, for sure, but Warm Heart wasn’t one to be laughed at. Additionally, the filly lived up to the expectations of her fans. The victory was also not closely contested; Warm Heart dominated the final stretch of the G1 event in style. This race was also the filly’s final one, as she is now set to embark on a new adventure.
