Premier PegasusComing into this year, Premier Pegasus was seen as one of the best up and coming horses in the world. It looks the hopes of his trainer, owner and fans to win the Kentucky Derby will be disappointed while he is still a horse with a lot of potential.

In horse racing odds Premier Pegasus is at 6-1.

As there are several horses that are affected by injuries the Kentucky Derby field is thinning out slowly. It looks like Premier Pegasus will now undergo surgery to try to try correct the injuries that the horse has sustained as it is one of the horses that was affected by injury.

Many people thought that the horse would come through as the favorite in the Derby as the horse was an early favorite to win the events prior to the Kentucky Derby. Because of Premier Pegasus’ fantastic win at San Felipe there is much of the hype around him.

At the San Felipe Stakes the horse was dominant and won the race by 7.75 lengths over Jaycito, the second place finisher. It was actually the largest margin that any horse had won the race by in 74 years as the event was a $250,000 event. The horse had high expectations for the Kentucky Derby with that impressive victory.

The sustained injury left Myung Cho, his trainer, with no choice but to send the horse to surgery even as expectations were high. Many people hope that the horse will return to full health and have a career ahead of him with Cho’s training as Cho is also the trainer.
