O'Brien Award winner Stay Hungry returned to Ontario and promptly stamped himself as a leading contender after capturing the first of three $50,000 (Cdn) eliminations for the Pepsi North America Cup at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Saturday night. Doug McNair used a third-over trip and sprinted by previously-unbeaten Done Well on the wire to win by a head in a personal-best 1:50 mile. Longshots Topville Olympian and Major Authority exchanged the early lead through a 27 3/5 opening quarter before Summer Travel and Dave Miller hustled up to secure the lead well before the 55 4/5 opening-half.  Summer Travel and Done Well engaged in a bitter duel on the final turn, with Hayden Hanover second-over and Stay Hungry following the outer flow. Done Well was on even terms with the pacemaker at the three-quarters in 1:23 1/5, but driver Tim Tetrick had the measure of Summer Travel and surged by in early stretch. Done Well held his ground gamely, but Stay Hungry and McNair were airborne and drove by to get a head in front on the wire, with Done Well second and Hayden Hanover also advancing to the June 16 C$1 million final. "It's what you dream of," said McNair of knowing he'll have a very serious contender for the North America Cup. "He qualified well against a solid horse last week (multiple stakes winner Dealt A Winner), and I was hoping to get the right trip." Stay Hungry returned $4.10 as the public choice, winning for trainer Tony Alagna and owners Bradley Grant and Irwin Samelman. Wes Delight and driver Corey Callahan had some anxious moments early and late but managed to gut out another victory in the second elimination heat. Beachin Lindy blasted to the front early, but Callahan moved quickly with Wes Delight upon seeing co-favorite American History and Yannick Gingras sprinting from the outside.  Wes Delight cleared to the front into the opening bend as Beachin Lindy went off-stride and pulled to the outside.  American History was three-wide into the turn and had to sprint past the quarter of 26 1/5 to get control.  Gingras had American History under good rating, with a half in 54 3/5, and still was on a comfortable lead as the pace quickened a bit on the far turn, with Dorsoduro Hanover pulling without cover and towing Nutcracker Sweet into contention. American History hit three-quarters in 1:22 4/5 and Wes Delight looked trapped, but Callahan was able to squeeze him free in midstretch, with Nutcracker Sweet looking to have the momentum for Tetrick. Wes Delight dug in gamely, though, and held off the 28-1 shot late in a 1:50 4/5 mile. American History settled for third, with Burning Midnight fourth. Wes Delight, a son of Bettor's Delight, has now won five of his six starts this year for trainer Mark Harder who co-owns with Rick Phillips and Deena Rachel Frost. "He's been good all year long," said Callahan of Wes Delight. "I was worried but Yannick (American History) sped up and gave me room. He's such a gritty horse." Wes Delight returned $5.70. Lather Up may have secured favoritism in the final with a powerful 1:49 2/5 victory in the final of the three trials. Montrell Teague made two early moves through the 26 2/5 opening quarter to gain the front with the 3-5 favorite. Lost In Time with Scott Zeron made a blistering move down the backstretch to clear the front at the 54 2/5 half and was put to pressure on the final turn when Courtly Choice and Dave Miller moved swiftly without cover. St Lads Neptune followed second-over cover and loomed boldly, swinging wide before three-quarters in 1:22 2/5. But Teague found room inside and Lather Up, a son of I'm Gorgeous, exploded to the front and never looked back, winning easily for the fifth straight time in as many sophomore starts. St Lads Neptune held second from a flying Hitman Hill, with Lost In Time holding fourth and surviving an inquiry after he locked wheels briefly with rival Courtly Choice at headsretch. Lather Up is owned by breeders Gary and Barbara Iles and trained by Clyde Francis. He returned $3.50 for the win. "When I popped the earplugs he exploded even more than he had when on the lead," said Teague following the race with pleasant surprise. Here is the full list of the finalists, including Lost In Time, who was the fourth-place finisher drawn by lot to advance.  The field will be drawn at a press conference on Tuesday, with the connections of the elimination winners allowed to choose a post position.
