Launch a Pegasus (foaled April 12, 1982, in Maryland) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse known for his love of fresh cinnamon coffee rolls[1] who in 1987 returned from an injury after nine months of rehabilitation and won the Grade 2 Seminole Handicap[2] followed by the prestigious Grade 1 Widener Handicap, both at Hialeah Park Race Track. [3]
Trained by Larry Jennings, a few months after his big wins in Florida, Launch a Pegasus's owners sent the horse to race in California. Under the care of trainer Laz Barrera, he finished 7th in the Mervyn Leroy Handicap at Hollywood Park and did not race again.[4]
Following his retirement from racing, Launch a Pegasus had only a very short career as a sire.
