Tell All captures Little Brown Jug

---

Delaware, OH (Sports Network) - Tell All, winner of the North America Cup, garnered the 62nd edition of the Little Brown Jug on Thursday at the Delaware, OH County Fairgrounds. The Little Brown Jug is the second leg of pacing's Triple Crown.

Driven by Jody Jamieson, Tell All posted a half-length victory over Hot Rod Mindale and the 3-5 favorite Always A Virgin. The time for the one-mile race was 1:52 flat.

Tell All and Always A Virgin were the winners of the two elimination races in the first heat. If neither one came back to win the second heat a third and final heat would have been necessary.

Owned by My Desire Stable, Tell All went wire-to-wire to win the $230,400 second heat race and enter his name in the history books. Hot Rod Mindale held on to second over Always A Virgin in the seven horse final.

Rounding out the finish was Southwind Lynx, Artist's View, Won The West and May June Character. Charley Barley, fourth in the first elimination, was scratched from the second heat.

Jody Jamieson, winning the Little Brown Jug for the first time, guided Tell All to his 10th win of 2007 and career. The three-year-old colt has earned more than $1.3 million in 18 starts.

Trained by Blair Burgess, Tell All won his elimination race by 1 1/4 lengths over Southwind Lynx and stopped the timer in 1:50 3/5,

Cane Pace champ Always A Virgin won the second elimination race by two lengths over Hot Rod Mindale. Always A Virgin covered the one-mile in 1:51 1/5 as the 1-5 favorite.

Tell All returned $6.00, $4.00 and $2.60. Hot Rod Mindale paid $8.00 and $3.00, and Always A Virgin paid $2.10 to show.

The third leg of the Triple Crown, the Messenger Stakes, will be on October 27 at Yonkers Raceway.
