With the 2016 Pepsi North America Cup eliminations just a few weeks away, every eligible three-year-old pacer aiming for Canadian harness racing's biggest prize has made an on-track appearance as those colts and geldings aim to displace the reigning divisional kingpins.
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.
This year's edition of the $1 million Pepsi North America Cup will be contested on Saturday, June 18 at Mohawk Racetrack in Campbellville, Ontario.
Listed by the Spring Book odds as featured in the April 2016 edition of Trot Magazine, 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 23, 2016. (► indicates a horse not listed last week)
