2019 Pegasus World Cup Betting Preview PT 1

With the Breeders’ Cup now behind us and many top thoroughbreds from all over the world entering their winter break, there are more than a few of them gearing up for extended campaigns in Japan and Hong Kong - though many top runners are prepping for a run in the 2019 Pegasus World Cup.

Easily one of the most unique races anywhere in the world - and one that has seen a number of spin-offs in other countries adopting the “cash for entries” model that creates an exaggerated purse structure, the Pegasus is attracting some of the best talent anywhere on the planet to Miami next year to run in the massive 1m1f contest at Gulfstream Park.

One of the most notable confirmed entries is none other than Accelerate - who was triumphant in the Breeders’ Cup Classic when sent off as the outright 5/2 favourite on the day.

The Pegasus is set to be Accelerate’s last race in his impressive career that has seen him take a major haul of five Grade 1 races in the 2018 season alone with spectacular victories in the Pacific Classic and the Santa Anita Handicap, among a number of other prominent contests.

There is a lot to like about his ability and he was able to flash that signature turn of foot with a move heading into the far turn that saw him rocket to the lead and continue going away even when he was being pursued by the talented closer Gunnevera and some of the best runners assembled from all over the world on that day at Churchill Downs.
