With the three trials in the books, horses received their starting spots for the $60,000 Guardian Gold Cup & Saucer, set to go at Charlottetown Driving Park on Saturday (Aug. 21).
A pair of trials went to post on Saturday (Aug. 14), the first won by Time To Dance and the second by Ideal Perception. The other trial, contested on Monday (Aug. 16), went to previous Gold Cup & Saucer champion Somewhere Fancy.
Evenwood Sonofagun, who finished third in the first Trial for the Gold Cup & Saucer, was withdrawn from the final. A fourth-place finisher from the three trials was drawn by lot. That position went to National Debt, who finished fourth in Trial 3.
The starting spots for the Gold Cup & Saucer were determined by an open draw. The field appears below:
