Milton, ON – Trainer Anthony Beaton will have an opportunity to become the third trainer to win the Pepsi North America Cup in consecutive years this Saturday at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
After receiving the thrill of a lifetime with Nijinsky in last year’s $1 million race, Beaton shows up to this year’s showdown with Lite Up The World, a son of American Ideal that will be getting plenty of support following a last-to-first victory in his elimination.
Hot fractions set things up for a closer in last Saturday’s second Cup elimination, but Lite Up The World didn’t just fall into the victory, he made a statement by charging home in :26 for driver James MacDonald and winning by 2 ½ lengths in 1:48.3.
