The purse of the 2019 Pegasus World Cup is being reduced to $9 million, down from $16 million (2018), as well as the entry fee is being cut in half ($1 million to $500k). I am shocked! You mean people got tired of losing money? They are adding a turf race which is good but they are going to have their hands full in getting the turf course in decent condition.
Why don’t they just call this whole thing off and go back to naming it the Donn Handicap.

Funny that Gulfstream’s website still has the purse at $16 million. (
