Woodbine Entertainment has released the final list of eligible horses for this year’s $1 million Pepsi North America Cup.
A total of 50 three-year-old pacers remain eligible to the Pepsi North America Cup following the final sustaining payment on May 15. Canada’s richest harness race is scheduled for Saturday, June 15 at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Eliminations will take place a week prior, on June 8.
Dan Patch Award winner Captain Crunch delivered a major statement to the other 49 eligible horses with a stunning 1:49.1 victory over a ‘sloppy’ track on Sunday night at Pocono. The Nancy Johansson trainee was making his seasonal debut and is scheduled to compete again this coming Sunday in another Pennsylvania Sire Stakes division at Harrah’s Philadelphia.
O’Brien Award winner Stag Party will make his season debut this Saturday at Woodbine Mohawk Park in an Ontario Sires Stakes Gold division. The Casie Coleman trainee has qualified three times this season, most recently a 1:53 victory on May 17 at Mohawk Park.
