The partnership between Baccarat and Pegasus World Cup, now in its fourth year, continues to cement Baccarat’s legacy as a symbol of sophistication and excellence in the world of high-stakes horse racing.

 

For the first time in this collaboration, Baccarat introduced an exclusive experience for select ticket holders at the Pegasus World Cup—The Baccarat Garden at Carousel Club. Designed as a desert oasis, the Baccarat Garden offered an opulent vantage point for race viewing, featuring bold and avant-garde décor illuminated by the iconic lighting of Baccarat.

This unique setting paid homage to the brand’s remarkable 260-year history while highlighting the shared passion and craftsmanship that unite Baccarat with the thrilling sport of horse racing.

 

At the heart of this year’s partnership are the handcrafted Pegase trophies, representing power, energy, and light. Standing over twenty inches tall, these breathtaking sculptures—one in clear crystal and the other in black crystal—were meticulously crafted from single blocks of Baccarat crystal.

Baccarat and Pegasus: a dazzling partnership

Inspired by Greek mythology, the rearing Pegase figures symbolize motion and strength, embodying the unmatched expertise and artistry of Baccarat’s craftsmen.

 

A dazzling life-size Thoroughbred sculpture was custom-created for the Baccarat Garden, encapsulating the Pegasus World Cup’s essence and Baccarat’s renowned joie de vivre.

 

This extraordinary piece was auctioned after the event, with all proceeds benefiting the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, underscoring Baccarat’s commitment to supporting the horse racing community.

The Pegase sculptures, designed by Allison Hawkes in collaboration with Baccarat, are marvels of artistry. Each piece required 90 hours of precision craftsmanship by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France. When struck by light, the intricate cuts reveal the musculature and dynamism of the galloping Thoroughbreds.

 

The Black Crystal Pegase, valued at $52,000, is awarded to the Pegasus World Cup Invitational winner, while the Clear Crystal Pegase, valued at $45,500, is reserved for the Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational champion.
