CHANNEL MAKER (3) was putrid in the Breeders' Cup Turf, but he was part of a wicked pace that day over very testing ground. In this afternoon's Pegasus World Cup Turf, he's much more likely to sit off a couple of speed horses and potentially inherit the lead turning for home; at a square price, I think Channel Maker could pull of the upset in the inaugural Pegasus World Cup Turf.
