The Charles Juravinski Memorial Cup is a harness race for Standardbred pacers run annually at Flamboro Downs in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Set at a distance of one mile, it was first run in 1977 as the Confederation Cup Pace and through 2012 it was a race for three-year-olds. Placed on hiatus for 2013 and 2014, upon reinstatement in 2015, the Confederation Cup Pace was changed to an event for four-year-olds.[1] The race was not contested in 2020 or 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] In 2022, it was renamed the Charles Juravinski Memorial Cup in honour of Flamboro Downs' co-founder, Charles Juravinski, who died that year.[4]
The Charles Juravinski Memorial Cup is the signature race of Flamboro Downs.[4] Over the years it has attracted some of the very best horses in North America including U. S. and Canadian Hall of Fame horses Abercrombie, Cam Fella, Jate Lobell, On The Road Again, and Somebeachsomewhere.[5]
