Four Favorites Win $1.5 Million North
America Cup Eliminations By Tom White
6/16/2003
All four elimination favorites advanced to next
Saturday's $1.5 million Pepsi North America Cup at Woodbine in
Campbellville, Ontario. Allamerican Theory (1:49.3), Totally Western
(1:51.2), Yankee Cruiser (1:50.1) and Allamerican Native (1:51.4)
proved to be worthy and impressive winners.
A record 34 Cup hopefuls battled in four $35,000
eliminations and the top two finishers in each, plus two third place
finishers drawn by lot, qualified for the Final. The post position
draw for the North America Cup will take place Tuesday morning at
Woodbine.
