The results of the Pegasus World Cup, which is the richest thoroughbred horse race in the world, were expected but still thrilling with the newly crowned 2017 Horse of the year Gun Runner dominating the race and ending his rock star career as a thoroughbred champion race.

Here are the horses to watch this year:

West Coast

Trainer – Bob Baffert

Owners – Gary & Mary West

Sire – Flatter

West Coast had been dominating the 3 year old division in 2017 and was only outdone by the Horse of the Year Gun Runner.

Another top favourite for the Kentucky Derby 2018, Bolt d’Oro is on track to be a big winner in 2018.

But with the minor issue soon cleared, Bolt d’Oro is back on form and ready to take on 2018.
