Excitement is already at a fever pitch for the $16 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational set for Saturday at Gulfstream Park, and the possibility of a $4 million-or-more carryover in the Rainbow Pick 6 makes it all the more enticing.

    Entries for the World Cup will be taken at 11:30 a. m. tomorrow morning in the Stronach Group VIP Cabana, which was created especially for this event. As Gulfstream's press releases have trumpeted, the inaugural World Cup in 2017 set a new benchmark for entertainment and excitement in thoroughbred racing, featuring the highly-anticipated match-up between Arrogate and California Chrome, with Arrogate taking home the $7 million first prize from the world's richest race, worth "just" $12 million for the inaugural. 

    Despite the appearance of Horse of the Year cinch Gun Runner, stranger things have happened in races with this kind of horsepower. And, with the Rainbow carryover sitting at $3,129,358 for tomorrow's program, Saturday could turn out to be a millionaire's bonanza for a lone winning player, something that has happened often in the past. 

     Gates open at 9 a. m. Saturday and tickets are available at PegasusWorldCup.com.
