An impressive group of 90 horses has been nominated to the 27th edition of the $1.5 million Pepsi North America Cup, one of standardbred racing's most prestigious events, set for Saturday, June 26 at Mohawk Racetrack. Headlining this year's group of nominees is 2009 O'Brien Award two-year-old champion Sportswriter. The Casie Coleman trainee won seven of eight races en route to the title. All Speed Hanover, the only horse to beat Sportswriter (at the Breeders Crown at Woodbine) is also on the list and clearly one of the early favourites for the race. Woodstock, another of the continent's top two-year-olds in 2009, is also nominated. Also named is recent sensation Ideal Matters, who rocketed to a 1:53.3 mark at The Meadowlands in his first career race late last month. The Pepsi North America Cup eliminations are set for Saturday, June 19. Sustaining payments will be due on March 15, April 15 and May 15. All the latest news on Canada's premier race will be available at www.NorthAmericaCup.com.
