Southern California racing has been in a bit of a slump lately, winning only one Eclipse Award on Thursday night, but all that was forgotten Saturday when Mucho Gusto won going away in the $3-million Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Gulfstream Park. But Ortiz hustled Mucho Gusto out of the eighth gate. Mucho Gusto paid $8.80, $5.00 and $3.80. Baffert is hoping that Mucho Gusto will now get an invitation to the $20-million Saudi Cup on Feb. 29.
