For the first time, the 2021 Pegasus World Cup Championship Invitational Series will partner with JockeyCam to provide a thrilling “second screen experience” that will give fans at home a real-time view of what it is like to be a jockey riding in two of North America’s richest Thoroughbred horse races.

Leading contenders for the $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational (G1) and for the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) will be outfitted with helmet cams that will be live streamed across the Pegasus World Cup social channels on a special Pegasus World Cup Facebook Live show produced by XBTV beginning at 5:30 p.m. ET on race day, Saturday, January 23.

Since the 2017 inaugural event, the Pegasus World Cup has become a premier event on the international Thoroughbred racing calendar and has been seen by millions of fans around the world. Adding to the excitement of this year’s event, the winner of the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) will receive an automatic spot in the $20 million Saudi Cup.

“We are excited to be partnering with America’s Best Racing and our international partners Henry Birtles Associates and the Saudi Cup to distribute and promote the 1/ST In The Saddle JockeyCam experience,” said David Wilson, Chief Marketing Officer, 1/ST. “Being able to offer our fans the opportunity to be a jockey for a day using second screen technology reflects the evolution of the Pegasus World Cup and our commitment to reaching a new generation of fans on their terms.”
