Pegasus Day Highlights

Welcome to Pegasus 2022

An obligatory "fashion photo"

My son Brad and grandson Oliver in THEIR "fashion photo"

NOTE the "Pegasus World Cup 2022 Sign" :)

The view from our seats - WOW

The big races, were broadcast LIVE on NBC and with our seats right on the finish line I was certain that we would appear on national television - and we were!  here are two screen shots that show us (upper left, note Keith's yellow sweatshirt).  Watching the broadcast on the big-screen TV and in HD we were much clearer, sometimes you could even make out our distinct facial features....pretty cool!

Within fifteen minutes, while working the paddock / analyzing she tweeted me back :)
