As stakes season looms and three-year-old pacers continue to emerge and sharpen, Trot Insider will track the contenders and eligibles as they prepare for the 2020 Pepsi North America Cup.

This year's edition of the $1 million Pepsi North America Cup will take place on Saturday, August 29 at Woodbine Mohawk Park. The eliminations will be held a week prior.

For the past several years, Trot Magazine's Pepsi North America Cup Spring Book has served as an initial barometer for the colts and geldings that may be in the running for the sophomore pacing set's single biggest payday. As in past years, the Spring Book appeared in the April issue of Trot.

Comments

7/4 update to my previous comment: according to Mohawk's website, Indictable's 5/15 sustaining payment was made, so he's still eligible to The NAC. The racing program is wrong.

In the 7/4 Mohawk race program , there is no "NAC" designation by Indictable Hanover's name in the 6th race, thus, according to the program, Indictable Hanover is not eligible to the NAC. Can that be right? His first 2 starts were devastating. If there's a world record for the fastest last quarter time in the first start of a horse's career, Indictable probably broke the record on 6/8, when he came home in 25.3.
