Tracking The NA Cup Eligibles

As stakes season looms and three-year-old pacers continue to emerge, 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.
