The 2021 Pegasus World Cup Championship Invitational Series is fast approaching. But with the current threat posed by the pandemic, many fans and bettors might still be unable to witness the race. Even though the coronavirus vaccine is out, it is not definite if it will cover most Americans by January next year. Thus, your safety should still be the number one priority.
There are so many ways you can see the race. Here are some ideas on where you can watch it to give you a heads up and prepare for a viewing party. You can choose from the options provided below for a safe and enjoyable horse racing experience.

Unlike all the other sporting events that prohibited spectators from watching the games on location, the Pegasus World Cup 2021 welcomes spectators to watch the race on location. Although it is allowed to sit on the bleachers and watch the game live, there are still restrictions that need to be observed by visitors.
The Pegasus World Cup 2021 opens its doors to all race day fans to witness their favorite contender. The event allows limited spectators, and social distancing is a must for all who will watch the race live. Ticket reservations and packages range between $100 to $1,150+.
The 2020 Pegasus World Cup Championship is set at Gulfstream Park on January 23, 2021. For those who want to watch and experience the thrill on location, you can start reserving tickets now. Remember, there are only limited tickets available.
