MILTON – Louprint, the expected favourite for the $1-million Pepsi North America Cup, has landed the No. 4 post for the race.
Louprint, Lite Up The World and Captain Optimistic won the three elimination races last weekend at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Lite Up The World, driven by James MacDonald — a resident of Guelph, Ont., and Canada’s top driver the last four years — recorded the fastest winning time of 1:48.3.
The three elimination winners were guaranteed to land a post anywhere from the second to sixth spots on Monday evening. Lite Up The World landed post No. 5 and will be flanked by Captain Optimistic (No. 6) and Louprint in the race, which goes Saturday night at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
The field, with post, horse and driver, includes: 1. Fast Choice, Scott Zeron; 2. Dandy Ideal, Jason Bartlett; 3. Joel And The Jets, Louis-Philippe Roy; 4. Louprint, Ronnie Wrenn Jr.; 5. Lite Up The World, MacDonald; 6. Captain Optimistic, Dexter Dunn; 7. Swingtown, Yannick Gingras; 8. Crack Shot, Doug McNair; 9. Prince Hal Hanover, David Miller; and 10. Madden Oaks, Braxten Boyd.
The stakes record for the Pepsi North America Cup is 1:47.2, established in 2019 by Captain Crunch. Saturday’s race will be the featured event on a $2.5-million card that will also include The Fan Hanover, Roses Are Red, Armbro Flight, Goodtimes and Mohawk Gold Cup.
