Milton, ON — The 37th edition of the Pepsi North America Cup is now six weeks away and the stakes season is heating up for 3-year-old pacers.

The saying “good things come to those who wait” will ring very true for the connections of this year’s Pepsi North America Cup winner. The C$1 million race for 3-year-old pacers was originally scheduled for June 20, but will now take place on Saturday (Aug. 29) at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The Pepsi North America Cup is traditionally the first major race for sophomore pacers, with most of the eligible horses making just a few starts prior to the eliminations.

The late-August date certainly changes the ‘Road to the Pepsi North America Cup,’ which will head through the Meadowlands this Saturday for the 2020 Meadowlands Pace.

The continuation of Sires Stakes and more Grand Circuit events will fill the schedule in the coming weeks, building more excitement for the potential showdowns in Campbellville on Aug. 29. A total of 65 3-year-old pacers remain eligible for the Cup.
