2018 Pegasus World Cup Tickets
Wow, would have loved to have seen this live, I have other horse races on TV but never live and it being in Florida would have been that much better. I really had no idea that there was this much money involved, I mean the winner can make a substantial amount of money and claim the title. This was a lot of great information and I have learned some great knowledge and will be saving up for next year.
Thank you,

The Pegasus World Cup started last year and it was a great site to see. The best of the best thoroughbred horses compete in this race. They schedule the week before the Super Bowl because it’s that exciting of a race. So be sure to keep an eye out for it next year when you are waiting to see the Super Bowl you will have something fun to watch to the weekend before.
Thanks
