Charles C. Fenwick Jr.’s Doc Cebu, the hottest newcomer to the timber-racing scene, has been supplemented to meet a veteran field in the $75,000 International Gold Cup, the signature race of Saturday’s 34th annual International Gold Cup at Great Meadow Race Course in The Plains, Va.

The International Gold Cup meet will feature eight races with purses totaling $370,000. Also on the program is the $75,000 David L. “Zeke” Ferguson Memorial (Gr. 2) over hurdles.

First post time is noon, and pari-mutuel racing under the supervision of the Virginia Racing Commission will be offered on all races.

Trained by Jack Fisher, Doc Cebu has done little wrong since beginning his timber career with a win at the My Lady’s Manor meet on April 15. He was second in a Queen’s Cup allowance race two weeks later and then won the Willowdale Steeplechase by nine lengths in mid-May.

The seven-year-old Hard Spun gelding kicked off his fall campaign with an 11 1/4-length score in the Genesee Valley Hunt Cup in New York on Oct. 14. Hadden Frost, who has ridden him in his three victories, will be in the saddle.

The owner and trainer both have had success as riders in the 3 1/2-mile International Gold Cup. Fenwick, the premier timber jockey of the 1970s and 1980s, rode Sugar Bee to victory in 1985. Fisher both trained and rode Call Louis in 1989 and Saluter in 1999.

Several of Doc Cebu’s opponents competed in Virginia Fall’s National Sporting Library and Museum Cup on Oct. 14. Four Virginia Gents’ Worried Man pulled an upset in that 3 1/4-mile timber race and won by 1 3/4 lengths under Kieran Norris, who will ride on Saturday for trainer Doug Fout.

Armata Stables’ Grand Manan, winner of last year’s International Gold Cup, finished second in the National Sporting Library after a second behind Doc Cebu in the Willowdale Steeplechase. Trainer Billy Meister named leading jockey Darren Nagle to ride the front-runner.

Kiplin Hall’s Rodriguez, winner of Shawan Downs’ Brown Advisory Legacy Chase on Sept. 23, finished a distant fourth in the National Sporting Library. Jack Doyle rides for trainer William Dowling.

Irv Naylor’s Ebanour, the reigning two-time Virginia Gold Cup winner over the Great Meadow course, comes into the International Gold Cup on a week’s rest from a fifth-place finish in the New Jersey Hunt Cup at the Far Hills Races. Trainer Cyril Murphy named Gus Dahl to ride.

The 2014 Virginia Gold Cup winner, Holston Hall’s Hot Rize, comes into the International Gold Cup from a third-place finish in this year’s Virginia timber classic. Completing the field is Skip Crawford’s Touchdowntony, who will be ridden by Gonzague Cottreau.
