This is fascinating. So let's say an entity has a share (Zayats, Godolphin, whoever) and they don't have a horse that would be competitive. They could make a deal and "hire" a horse for the race, right? This makes so much sense. I love it.

some random thoughts...
12 horse match race? Let me hold your money! Over/under? 6.5 horses Zero threat to win-and-you-are-in Breeders Cup races or Dubai events. P. T. Barnum lives again!

I admit, when I first heard of this concept I thought it was laughable and guaranteed to fail if it was actually attempted...
After listening to Jack W on ATR I now have the opinion that it's the single most innovative thing I've seen with racing in the 15 years or so I've been closely following. If you haven't listened to the vision laid out on Steve's show, I'd suggest you go to the archives and listen before dismissing the concept. The most interesting aspect of all of this (to me at least) is that "non-racing" connections are apparently showing interest one of the 12 shares. If they can execute as planned this is much more than just a $12M race.

The breeders are going to play a big role. No doubt about it, freddy..
This has the potential to be a Triple Crown for older horses. With success it would be wise to add two more races. Competing with Dubai and keeping the good horses over here and preventing them from disappearing is of the utmost importance. Another Triple Crown winner wouldn't hurt either.

Come fly with me, fly and fly away
Pegasus and Dragon is a 100-foot (30 m) tall statue of Pegasus defeating a dragon in Gulfstream Park, Hallandale Beach, Florida.
It is the 2nd tallest statue in the United States after the Statue of Liberty. They are also the world's tallest equine and european dragon statues. The dragon stands 50 feet high. The statue complex is 200 feet in length and 115 feet in width. Pegasus is made of 330 tons of steel and 132 tons of bronze. The dragon is made of 110 tons of steel and 132 tons of bronze. Pegasus will feature a 5D dome theater in a rock formation underneath it. The dragon is surrounded by musical fountains. At night the statue will be home to a fountain show featuring 13 musical pieces, 350 fog nozzles, 116 water nozzles, special LED lighting and dragon breathing fire 20 feet during the show. .  The statue was announced in 2012 as part of a long-term expansion of Gulfstream Park that also included condominiums and more grandstands for the horse racing track. In 2013 further details emerged showing that Pegasus was to be in the pose of stomping on a dragon. Construction on the site started in April 5, 2013 with Skanska overseeing construction. The statue was pre-cast and shipped in from China in 23 packing containers and the steel beams were shipped in 23 shipping containers from Germany after being made by Strassacker. The project cost $30 million. By December 6, 2014 construction of the statues was completed with work on the surrounding landscaping and water features remaining to be done in the summer of 2015. Work on lighting for the fountain show and dragon's fire breath was beginning in late 2015. The complex is expected to be opened in spring 2016.  Last edited by Secretriat34 : 01-20-2017 at 01:59 PM.

lets type about money
all currency is in american dollars  WIN $7.00 million PLACE $1.75 million  SHOW $1.00 million  4th a meager $250,000 5th a pitance $250,000 6 -12 $200,000 =============== In addition, slot holders will receive 1/12th of the net revenue the race generates in wagering, media rights, and sponsorships. Although NBC will televise the Pegasus, channel 5.1 at 3:30 following figure skating 130 -330 The Stronach Group is paying for that air time, so no money will flow to the slot holders from TV. Slot holders also retain first preference for entering the 2018 edition of the Pegasus. Last edited by Secretriat34 : 01-20-2017 at 02:21 PM.
