With the date for the 2023 Pepsi North America Cup eliminations less than two weeks away and the final major prep coming up this weekend, the picture of the three-year-old pacers aiming for and looking to factor in the pursuit of Canadian harness racing's biggest prize is getting much clearer.

This year's edition of the $1 million Pepsi North America Cup will be contested on Saturday, June 17 at Woodbine Mohawk Park in Campbellville, Ont. Eliminations will be carded one week prior on June 10, but a number of those NA Cup contenders will be in action this Saturday (June 3) in divisions of the Somebeachsomewhere Stakes.

Here are the horses that are still Cup-eligible as of the April 15 sustaining payment and have raced or are in-to-go as of May 29, 2023.
