Pegasus World Cup 2026: 10 Years of Racing, Style & Sound

If there’s one event that proves horse racing can be glamorous, high-octane, and unapologetically cool, it’s the Pegasus World Cup 2026. Returning to Gulfstream Park on Saturday, January 24, 2026, this milestone edition marks 10 years of redefining what a race day experience can be—where world-class Thoroughbred competition meets fashion, music, nightlife, and Miami’s signature flair.

Since its debut, the Pegasus World Cup has evolved into an international spectacle, attracting celebrities, tastemakers, and racing purists alike. Now, for its 10th anniversary, the event is pulling out all the stops with major performances, upgraded hospitality,

and more than $5.7 million in total purses on the line.

A Decade of High-Stakes Racing

At the heart of the celebration is the sport itself. The Pegasus World Cup 2026 will feature three elite races:

• $3 million Pegasus World Cup Championship Invitational (GI)

• $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational (GI)

• $500,000 Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf Invitational (GII)

Over the years, legendary horses like Arrogate, Gun Runner, Knicks Go, Life Is Good, and White Abarrio have cemented Pegasus’ status as one of the most prestigious events in global racing.

Ten years in, the excitement hasn’t slowed—it’s only intensified.

The Flamingo Room Returns—Reimagined

One of the most coveted experiences at the event, the Flamingo Room remains the crown jewel of Pegasus hospitality. Reimagined for the anniversary year, this ultra-exclusive space offers sweeping views of the track, elevated culinary moments, and next-level entertainment.

Guests will indulge in a bespoke menu curated by Groot Hospitality, featuring signature bites from Gekkō, Komodo, Papi Steak, and Casadonna. Adding to the drama, Grammy-winning producer and musical director Brian Newman will deliver live performances throughout the day—followed by a reimagined DJ set by Empire Of The Sun after the races. The Flamingo Room is officially sold out, proving once again that Pegasus is the ticket in town.
