   All the races on that big card have had their purses boosted, but the $2 million raise for the World Cup will give the winner $7.2 million.

   The total purse for the 2018 Pegasus was $16 million, with $7 million going to the winner. I wonder if Frank is going try upping the money for his prized creation? And has there been any more info about that Saudi race that was going to offer $17 million and run in February?

    There could be a ridiculous amount of money on the table for three races early in the year. Any horse who could win those three might set a new earnings record...at least, until the next round of record-purse races.   :tongue:
