About the event
It is the first stop on the 2024 road that will ultimately span Kentucky Derby prep races, the Triple Crown, several million-dollar events and the eventual Breeders Cup in November.
The Pegasus is also noteworthy both for showcasing four-year-old thoroughbreds and providing an encore presentation for those who had been Breeders Cup stalwarts just two months earlier. Some have been entered in the Pegasus just before being retired, extending their careers by a couple of months.
The Pegasus will be contested at 1 1-8 miles on dirt.
It will be supported by a strong $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational at 1 1-8 miles and the Filly and Mare Turf Invitational for 4-year-olds and up at 1 1-16 miles for $500,000.
The three-race package comprises most of a purse outlay of more than $5 million on Pegasus Day.
Nationwide bettors can access the action at the track, throughout varied simulcast facilities and via TVG. NBC will televise the action.
Pegasus World Cup history
It was launched in 2017 with the goal of becoming the world’s richest horse race. With a $12 million purse for its inaugural running, it surpassed the Dubai World Cup as the richest horse race in the world for the year 2017 and 2018.
The purse of the event rose to $16 million in 2018, but dropped to $9 million in 2019 and has steadily dipped to its current level.
Track organizers realized they could not generate the handle and notoriety to justify the enormous expenditure. Thus, $3 million became the Pegasus purse and a couple of million dollars more was spread throughout the card.
This gave gamblers an all-day showcase.
Pegasus betting odds
From a betting perspective, the Pegasus has long been the centerpiece of favorites. Its rich structure entices top horses, often a recent Breeders’ Cup winner. Any live threat has usually been spotted well before this event and will be bet.
The Pegasus’ primary gambling enticement is chalk bettors who like to put heavy money on the favorite.
The running style of the race favors early speed and stalkers. Jockeys will use top horses early to obtain position and then hope to prevail down the lane.
Pegasus Results
The Pegasus has become a launch pad for elite horses throughout the campaign.
- Arrogate, the defending Breeders’ Cup champion, won the inaugural Pegasus and then the Dubai World Cup. Gun Runner captured the 2017 Breeders’ Cup and the career-exiting 2018 Pegasus.
- City of Light bookended the 2018 Breeders’ Cup with a romp in the rain to win the 2019 Pegasus.
- Mucho Gusto prevailed by five lengths in securing the 2020 Pegasus at a betting-friendly 3-1.
- Knicks Go captured the Pegasus in 2021 in between Breeders Cup victories in 2020 and 2021. He was in fine form, turning the field away at 6-5. He returned to create perhaps the most intriguing Pegasus of all time last year. Knicks Go and Life Is Good created the rarity of rarities, two horses both billed at 4-5 betting odds. Life Is Good got the early jump and topped Knicks Go handily.
