What is the Pegasus World Cup?
The Pegasus World Cup Invitational Series is an annual, invite-only three-race series for horses aged 4 years old. The event started as a single dirt race in 2017 but now features two additional turf races —a $500k Pegasus Filly & Mare Turf (G3) and the $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf (G1).
The headliner—the $3 million race—runs 1 1/8 miles on the dirt. The winner of the dirt race will gain automatic entry into the $7 million 2026 Breeders’ Cup Classic at Keeneland.
