2018 Pegasus World Cup Purse Increase

Postby TJ » Thu Apr 06, 2017 12:33 pm

The first running of the Pegasus World Cup was nothing short of spectacular...but that isn't enough for Stronach. The Stronach Group added $4 Million of their own to the total pot of $12 million contributed by the twelve sponsors, making the 2018 Pegasus purse worth $16 million.
I think Sheikh Mohammed will try to top the Pegasus purse increase in his 2018 Dubai World Cup....I doubt he will settle for his race being the worlds 2nd highest purse. If they keep this up we might set all kinds of outrageous money earning records for TB racehorses? On the bright side....it could keep the top racehorses racing longer trying to get all that gold? TJ

All-time money earner means nothing now.
