Eddie Olczyk Pegasus World Cup 2024 Picks: Looking For A Gulfstream ‘Il Miracolo’

Former NHL player Eddie Olczyk is now a respected horse racing NBC Sports handicapper, so ahead of the eighth running of the big Gulfstream Park race this Saturday, we take a look at the Eddie Olczyk Pegasus World Cup picks for 2024.

Eddie Olczyk Pegasus World Cup Picks: 1-2-3-4 Best Bets

  • IL MIRACOLO
  • First Mission
  • O’ Connor
  • Senor Buscador

The past Pegasus World Cup trends tell us that we’ve had four winning favorites since the race was first run in 2017.

However, the Eddie Olczyk Pegasus World Cup pick is one further down the betting – IL MIRACOLO.

This Antonio Sano-trained 4 year-old is the son of Gunner Runner, who won the Pegasus in 2018 and Olczyk thinks he can fly the family flag again.

The horse was a head second to another Pegasus World Cup runner – O’Connor in October in the Hagyard Fayette Stakes at Keeneland, while last time ran third to Trademark and First Mission in the Clark Stakes at Churchill Downs.

However, Eddie Olczyk thinks Il Miracolo wasn’t given the best of rides that day by Tyler Gaffalione, when looking the likely winner sitting on the inside until switching the horse wide to eventually run on for third (see what you think below).

Javier Castellano takes over and with the horse liking a fast pace, which Eddie feels he’ll get, then he’s the former NHL player has gone on record as saying  he’s going to figure in all his plays ahead of the race.

The others of interest for Eddie Olczyk in Saturday’s Gulfstream race are two horses that have finished ahead of Il Miracolo in recent races – Godolphin’s First Mission and the already mentioned O’Connor.

While the Todd W Fincher runner Senor Buscador is also given a mention to use underneath.
