Tom Pedulla presents five key takeaways from Pegasus World Cup day on Jan. 29 at Gulfstream Park:

Under a suspension issued by Churchill Downs Inc. from its tracks, trainer Bob Baffert is currently prohibited from participating this year and next in the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve. But that isn't stopping the Hall of Famer from winning races on the Derby trail, just as he long has.

It's only January and there are still 11 months to go in the 2022 racing season.

But judging by what happened Jan. 29 in the rich Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup Presented by 1/ST BET one point has become crystal clear.

If anyone hopes to outshine Life Is Good, they will need an unearthly performance to do it.

The Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational Stakes Presented by Baccarat and the featured Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes have the same basic storyline. In both rich stakes, the 2021 winner will be on hand to bid for an encore victory.

It’s been downright chilly on occasion at Oaklawn Park this winter, but the action will definitely heat up Saturday with the Hot Springs, Ark. track’s second Triple Crown prep of 2022.
