DADELAND 305.662.8655. magazine CHAIRMAN'S LETTER This inaugural edition of the Pegasus magazine is designed to complement all of the work The Stronach Group is doing to elevate and modernize the sport of Thoroughbred horse racing for the next generation of fans. It is not just about attending a horse race, it’s about providing an entertain- ment experience that is second to none. In this edition, we will introduce you to the next generation of industry leaders, young owners, trainers, jockeys and announcers who are changing the face of the sport. You will be given a sneak peak into the heightened design, food and beverage experiences that we all seek as a part of our leisure time. You will also discover how horse racing and technology are becoming increasingly intertwined and how fashion and racing go hand in hand. There is a sensory experience that comes with reading a magazine, feeling the paper stock and flipping the pages, viewing the images and enjoying a quiet moment from the world around you. It’s something I believe will never go out of style. I would like to thank our team at The Stronach Group for their efforts and ongoing dedication to make The Sport of Kings even greater, Seth Browarnik at World Red Eye for being our partner in DUNN this venture and Miami for providing so much inspiration! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

PEGASUS 13 JOCKEY THE ‘13th JOCKEY’ Introducing the new face of the Pegasus World Cup Invitational, Conor McGregor by Kelly Serfoss UFC champion Conor McGregor, the first man to hold two UFC titles simultaneously, can now add an honorary title to his acco- lades, ‘The 13th Jockey.’ The Stronach Group enlisted the world-renowned fighter to bring a fun and fresh perspective in celebration of the Pegasus World Cup Invitational. McGregor accepted the challenge of learn- ing his way around the stables and training with Thoroughbred horses for his jockey por- trayal in a short comedic film series that will be released in promotion of the high stakes Thoroughbred race held at Gulfstream Park. Directed by Frank Coraci, the five-episode shorts also feature actor and comedian Jon Lovitz who posed as McGregor’s trainer. The Champ and his crew often attend horse races but are eagerly awaiting the Pegasus World Cup Invitational. “The Pegasus is the most prestigious event there is, with the most money on the line. It’s an honor to be the face of an event like this,” says the Irish born ath- lete. “Horse racing has a big presence in my country and I’m proud to be a part of the big- gest horse race in the world.” PEGASUS 14 SLS HOTELS SOUTH BEACH | BRICKELL HOTELS & RESIDENCES SAME DNA different personality genuine SOPHISTICATION celebrated DESIGN exceptional CUISINE bespoke SERVICE Kygo at Ultra Music Festival. PEGASUS 16 ON TRACK KYGO Frank Walker Uncovers Why the DJ Loves the Magic City by Frank Walker photography by Seth Browarnik Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll, a.k.a Kygo, fell in love with Miami while playing at Ultra Music Festival and other top clubs throughout the city. Now many locals and fans from around the world flock here to take in his uplifting beats, which fit in perfectly with the tropical vibes. “I always love playing new music at Ultra. There are so many die-hard fans who attend, and it’s so rewarding to share new material with those that have been following me since day one,” says Kygo. “I feel like I’ve met so many fellow producers and DJs at Miami Music Week who I might not have met otherwise.” Constantly pushing boundaries with beats, the musician is known for go- ing above and beyond to deliver a dynamic show. “I see things continuing to move more toward live performances,” says Kygo. ”I think fans really enjoy watching their favorite tracks come together directly in front of their eyes—that’s really what I try to do as much as possible.” Born in Norway, the musician and producer quickly rose to fame with his mind-blowing remixes of songs by world-renowned artists including Mar- vin Gaye, Ed Sheeran and others. Now, the demand for his music takes him around the globe, performing at massive festivals like Lollapalooza, TomorrowWorld and Coachella. “Even though I love traveling and seeing new places, I’d say one of the hardest things is being away from home for long periods of time,” says Kygo. When he’s not traveling the world, the DJ can be found spending time in Miami, producing new music, headlining at the Fontainebleau’s LIV, or enjoying a meal at one of his preferred Miami eateries such as Komodo. DESIGN PROFILE TEN STARS AT TEN PALMS Interior designer Karan Brady opens the doors to Gulfstream Park’s newly designed Ten Palms Restaurant by Lindsey Shook photography by Seth Browarnik Los Angeles interior designer Karan Brady is no stranger to curating spaces with defined style. Known for layering rich fabrics and textures with objects collected from around the world, her sophisticated ap- proach to design aligned with The Stronach Group’s vision for refresh- ing restaurants at both the Santa Anita and Gulfstream racetracks. First, Brady was tasked with the swift remodel of The 100 to 1 Club (formerly The Gallop Out) at Santa Anita Park, where she and her team used beautifully appointed fabrics and custom-designed furni- ture to exude the distinguished Southern California style of industrial- meets-casual-chic.
