Launched in 2017 as part of 1/ST’s mission to excite, energize and modernize the sport of racing for a new generation of fans, the Pegasus World Cup also provides lucrative opportunities for Thoroughbred owners and trainers. In just four short years, it has captured the attention of the racing industry, celebrities and fans from around the world and has established itself as a premier event on the racing calendar featuring some of the finest domestic and international runners.

In 2021, the Pegasus World Cup continues to be at the forefront of innovating the sport by redefining the guest experience through the implementation of social distancing protocols as well as new health and safety guidelines for riders and spectators. Additionally, this year’s event will once again provide exciting opportunities in North American Thoroughbred racing for horse owners to showcase their equine athletes on two fronts – competing free of any medications on race day and providing the winner of the Pegasus World Cup Invitational with an automatic entry into the 2021 $20 million Saudi Cup. The medication-free format, for both the Pegasus World CupInvitational and Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational, is consistent with the International Federation of Horse Racing Authorities (IFHA) standards.
