Toronto, ON — Horseplayer Interactive (HPI) customers will have even more incentive to tune into this year’s C$1.5 million Pepsi North America Cup at Mohawk Racetrack on June 16.

Each HPI customer who wagers C$100 on Mohawk live Standardbred racing from May 17-May 31 will be automatically entered into HPI’s online Pepsi North America Cup Handicapping Challenge.

The challenge will cover races 2 through 9 on Pepsi North America Cup night and will feature a survivor-style format where you must pick the correct winner to stay alive. The winner or winners of all eight races that night will share in a C$100,000 Grand Prize.

The winner of the challenge will also gain entry into the TROT Canada National Handicapping Challenge in November, where there will be no buy-in and the winner will take home a guaranteed C$20,000 top prize.

If no one is able to correctly select all eight winners on Pepsi North America Cup night, then the person with the highest number of winners will be declared champion.
