Miki Shan N races to Gold Cup and Saucer win
Montague's Corey MacPherson and his horse Miki Shan N won the 66th Gold Cup and Saucer race on Saturday night in Charlottetown. This is the first Gold Cup and Saucer victory for MacPherson. The race carries a $100,000 prize purse. He said he was thinking of his late grandfather Glenn Taylor, a noted horseman who died in 2013. Taylor got him into the sport. "Oh yeah, he followed me the whole time," he said. "When I was a little kid he always had horses around and I was at his place all the time. I caught the bug early." MacPherson said he followed the lead horse, Poseidon Seelster, driven by Bob McClure, before getting around for the win. He said all Gold Cups are a scramble at the start before the horses settle in. He said he knew Poseidon Seelster was the horse to follow. "And he took me right into the race and it worked out perfectly," MacPherson said. MacPherson said his late grandfather was with him during the race. "He's saying just good job, he patted me on the back," he said. Miki Shan N won in 1:51.2. Bee Two Bee, driven by Jason Hughes, placed third.
