Omaha Beach who is trained by West Coast trainer Richard Mandella was widely viewed as the significant betting favorite for the race but it appears as though  a possible fracture to his right hind leg has removed him from the race and potentially ended his career.

For quite some time Omaha Beach was thought of as the best horse of his generation and it looks as though he will not get the opportunity to showcase his ability on the track anymore. This is definitely a loss for horse racing but there is still a race to be run and there is still plenty of value to be found in the markets.

It now appears as though Higher Power is the genuine favorite for the race in the bookmakers have installed him at a 2/1 listening to win the 2020 Pegasus World Cup. He definitely has plenty of ability and there will be a lot of punters who think that he should be able to deliver the goods over the 9 furlong distance.

The fact that the Pegasus World Cup is going to be run without the use of Lasix definitely adds a really tricky element for a lot of betters since so many horses in the United States run on it.

Mucho Gusto is another really talented Prospect and he can be backed around a 5/1 price tag to win the Pegasus World Cup. There's a lot to like about his ability and it looks as though he won't have any problems with the distance.
