Earlier in the year he won the grade I $400,000 Woodford Reserve Manhattan Handicap also at Belmont. The five-year old colt is trained by Christophe Clement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workforce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This English-bred horse has been made the early 7-5 favorite for The Turf based upon victories in the Epsom Derby in England and the Qatar Prix de l\u2019Arc de Triomphe in France. Trained by Sir Michael Stoute he is expected to be ridden by Ryan Moore. Workforce has won or placed in four of his five career starts and has amassed $ 4,361,563 in earnings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Champ Pegasus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This horse started this year with a $45,000 Maiden Special Weight at Santa Anita in April and a $44,000 Allowance Optional Claiming race at Hollywood Park in June. His victory in the grade II $200,000 Del Mar Handicap in August earned him an automatic \u201cWin and You\u2019re In\u201d entry in The Turf as part of the Challenge Cup race series. Champ Pegasus followed this race up with a win in the grade I $250,000 Clement L.
