Pegasus World Cup Latest Betting Update PT 1

The world's richest horse race is set to unfold in just a couple of weeks at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, Florida and this one has a really unique twist to it that should see it become an interesting rival for the Dubai World Cup if the race continues on as a spectacle in subsequent years as is the plan. While the contest hasn't attracted a star-studded International crop, that was always a bit of a long shot since there are only a handful of countries where a horse worth this type of money is going to be running at nine furlongs over a dirt track.

There is talk of moving the race to Santa Anita next year, which many believe would make a good deal of sense considering the fact that the Gulfstream Park venue has few seats and is a small venue attached to a casino resort despite having one of the premier tracks in the United States during the winter months of the year.

The field is still up in the air despite several key declarations in current days and this fact is exacerbated by the slightly unorthodox nature of the race in that there are 12 ticketholders who have each invested a millions dollars in the contest with a potential seven million dollars for first place and a share of the betting handle and television rights also included in the payout.

Several of the ticketholders do not own horses themselves or don't own a horse of the calibre who could potentially win this race so they are making arrangements with those who have a horse capable of putting in a solid performance. Entries such as Neolithic and Keen Ice have entered into the race this way.

The big story heading into the contest is the impending showdown between two of America's biggest superstars right now and they stand atop the handicap division in the United States as a pair of titans.
