Pegasus '18 ~ Gun Runner (4-5) from 10 hole
Quite an interesting piece from Bob Ehalt casting doubt on Pegasus for '18.
https://www.thoroughbredracing.com/a...plans-pegasus/ Why there’s uncertainty in the air over plans for the Pegasus Bob Ehalt Apparently even the world’s richest horse race is not immune from a ‘sophomore slump’. With the second edition of the now $16 million Pegasus World Cup about four months away, the Stronach Group’s ground-breaking race is currently facing a bout of growing pains. Several original stakeholders have pulled out – with one of them likening the experience to a ‘used-car sales job’ – and even its most fervent backers are uncertain of what to expect on Jan. 27, when the race is contested at Gulfstream Park. “As far as I know, and it has been a bit quiet, the race is still on,” said Dean Reeves, an original stakeholder who anted up a $200,000 down payment for a spot in the 2018 race by the Sept. 1 deadline. “I haven’t asked how many people are in and I don’t know where everything stands. But, from my past conversations with [Stronach Chief Operating Officer] Tim Ritvo, they will have 12 horses and it’s going forward. I think they have a lot of irons in the fire and need time to sort everything out, but that’s just conjecture on my part.
