The 2024 Gold Cup & Saucer is shaping up to be a competitive race, especially with strong contenders like Save America, who set the fastest time in the eliminations despite challenging track conditions. Drawing post-eight might be a bit of a disadvantage, but his speed and form make him a top contender.
Heaven On High N, starting from post two, also looks promising, especially given his strong performance in Trial 3. Fortify, with a favourable post-three position, could also be in the mix, particularly with Chris MacKay as the trainer.
Defending champion Covered Bridge, starting from post four, can't be overlooked either, given his past success and experience in high-stakes races.
Given the post positions and recent performances, I'd lean toward Save America or Heaven On High N as potential winners, but the race could go in any direction. It will be exciting to see how it unfolds!
