  • Arrogate Adds New Dimension to Pegasus Cup

    Several months ago, Dan Schafer, who does not own a single racehorse, but has purchased a spot in the $12 million Pegasus World Cup, was looking forward to the next couple of months when the wheeling and dealing begins to fill the starting gate with 12 top-class horses at $1 million a pop.

  • Evaluating the Juveniles Present and Future
