Milton, ON – Captain Optimistic, Lite Up The World, and Louprint roll into next Saturday’s (June 14) prestigious C$1 million Pepsi North America Cup (Grade 1) at Woodbine Mohawk Park in top-tier form after winning their respective C$50,000 eliminations on Saturday evening (June 7).
If Saturday’s performances are any indication of what’s to come on June 14, the 42nd edition of the premier event for 3-year-old pacers is shaping up to be a classic.
In the opening Cup elimination, Joel And The Jets jetted to the lead heading into the first turn, followed by Fast Choice, Swingtown and Avanti, while Captain Optimistic, sent on his way as the even-money choice, was last of eight early.
