They say that love can be found in the unlikeliest of places. If you’re not a horse person, finding love at a racetrack would probably qualify as one of those unlikely — if not totally strange — places.

Can you imagine being a little kid and getting a pony for Christmas? Trainer Reade Baker has the Christmas pony story of all time. His bachelor uncles actually wrapped a pony in a box and proudly put it in the living room. As his Uncles looked on with big smiles, Baker unwrapped his present and quickly wrapped his arms around the neck of Lady, his new Shetland pony. His sisters were standing behind the box and there was a great deal of Christmas wrapping paper strewn all over the living room.

The inaugural Pegasus World Cup, the richest horse race in the world with a purse of $12 million, is this Saturday, Jan. 28 at Gulfstream Park. The Pegasus, an icon of Greek mythology that symbolizes glory, knowledge and inspiration, is a familiar image worldwide; and in the last few millennia, the Pegasus has become a staple of pop culture.
