North America Cup

The North America Cup is an annual harness racing event for 3-year-old standardbred pacing horses which is held at Mohawk Raceway in Campbellville, Ontario, Canada.[1] The race replaced the Queen City Pace run from 1964 to 1983. From 1984-1993, the North America Cup was held at Greenwood Raceway and from 1994-2006, the North America Cup was held at Woodbine Entertainment Group's other harness racing venue, Woodbine Racetrack. It is the richest harness race in North America at $1,000,000.[2]
