The "World Cup" is an international harness racing driving competition for amateur competitors. The event is held roughly every other year with a rotating host country. A series of races are held across a number of tracks and points are accumulated based on the order of finish in each race. 12 countries compete in each competition with one driver representing each nation. The 2008 edition is being held in the USA at six tracks. Each track will host 2 races with drivers driving in a total of 7 races at the first five stops. The final event will be at the Meadowlands with 12 horses scheduled to race in a single race. The "Cup" is a symbol of international comaraderie in the standardbred racing world. TrackMaster President, David Siegel, will be representing the USA.LINKS
