Tell All Added To NA Cup Records
Unraced at 2, Colt Won Elimination and Title, Joined Record Holders
Dec 14, 2007
Only one colt had won the North America Cup, Canada's biggest harness racing event, after being unraced at the age of two. Tell All joined that short list this season as he became the second pacer in history to accomplish the feat. First to turn the trick was Straight Path, who claimed the 1998 Cup.
Three-year-old Tell All, driven by Jody Jamieson and trained by Blair Burgess, who also guided 2006's Horse of the Year, Glidemaster, paced to a personal best time of 1:50.3 in the Cup Final. Tell All also won his elimination heat, the 13th Cup winner to do so in the event's 24-year history.
Tell All hails from the MY Desire Stable in Versailles, Kentucky.
