Talk:Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes

How to handle next year?

I'm assuming that once the 2018 running starts to get closer, we'll want to set up separate articles for each year's running of the race – 2017 Pegasus World Cup (containing much of the content we currently have on entries and results), 2018 Pegasus World Cup (which would have similar info for next year's runnings) – and then simplify the main article with some less specific stuff about the history of the race, then add in a winner's table that links to the specific years much like we do with say the Kentucky Derby. I don't mind doing the work but want to make sure we're all thinking on the same page(s). Jlvsclrk (talk) 22:40, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense to me. I've actually thought that the list of Derby winners should be a list by itself rather than being in the main article, because it's just so huge, but that's not going to be an issue here for the next decade or so. 😆 White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 19:58, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm tempted to wait a few years before breaking the article into separate year pieces -- for example, while Breeders' Cup has separate year articles, [{Breeders' Cup Classic]] does not. I don't see a particular need for a play-by-play of each year for now...I mean, maybe the race will be around 10 years from now, and maybe not... thoughts? (Speaking only for myself, I am fine with the list of KD winners being in the article, though there is a good argument for spinning off the list too... no strong opinions. ) Montanabw^(talk) 02:04, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree we can wait a few years before spinning off the Pegasus to separate articles. I just don't want to lose the detail we have for 2016 when we start to work on 2017, which sometimes happens. I figure there already IS a list article for the Derby - the top four finishers, plus the template that we put in the article of each Derby winner so that doesn't bug me. FYI, I am working on doing the XXXX Breeder's Cup Classic articles but got a bit stalled out over Christmas. Have done 2006-2008 and 2012-2016. Don't want to come across as too fangirly though in the Zenyatta years. Jlvsclrk (talk) 02:13, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
