HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – BRICKS AND MORTAR ($7.60) drew away in the final furlong under Irad Ortiz Jr. to win the inaugural running of the $7 million Pegasus World Cup Turf over a rain-soaked turf course Saturday at Gulfstream Park.

Trained by Chad Brown for Klaravich Stables and William Lawrence, Bricks and Mortar got a good mid-pack trip before roaring to command, winning by 2 1/2 lengths over the Coolmore filly, MAGIC WAND. DELTA PRINCE was third and CATAPULT was fourth in a field of 10. The full order was 7-1-8-9.

Bricks and Mortar, a 5-year-old Kentucky-bred horse by Giant’s Causeway, finished 1 3/16 miles in 1:54.59.

The victory capped a huge week for Ortiz and Brown, as they were honored with 2018 Eclipse Awards here Thursday night as outstanding jockey and trainer, respectively.
