Campbellville, ON — Yannick Gingras, who will be driving expected favorite Tall Dark Stranger in this Saturday night’s C$1 million Pepsi North America Cup, will join COSA TV live for a special NA Cup preview show Tuesday night (Aug. 25) at 7:30 p.m. (EDT).

Tall Dark Stranger captured his elimination this past Saturday night with a hard-fought victory by a head in 1:48.4. The son of Bettor’s Delight captured the $636,650 Meadowlands Pace earlier this season and is 13-for-15 lifetime with $1.21 million earned. His trainer Nancy Takter is looking for back-to-back NA Cup titles after capturing last year’s contest with Captain Crunch.

Bob McClure, who guided Captain Kirk to victory in his Pepsi NA Cup elimination, will also join the broadcast during a pre-taped segment. Captain Kirk is one of three Tony Alagna trainees to qualify for the $1 million final — the others being Capt Midnight and Captain Barbossa.

Greg Blanchard and Mark McKelvie will host the show which can be viewed on the COSA TV Facebook and YouTube channels. It will also be available on the CUJO Entertainment Facebook channel, Harness Racing Update Facebook channel and streamed live on the Standardbred Canada website.

Viewers who take part in the nightly poll question will be automatically entered for a chance to win an Urban E-bike, compliments of Hoofbid.com, to be drawn during COSA TV’s season finale this November. Tuesday’s show will also feature a draw for a $100 HPIBet Card, and all viewers who leave a comment during the show will have a chance to win. The draw will be made immediately following the broadcast and the winner announced on the COSA TV Facebook page.

The draw for the Pepsi North America Cup takes place Monday night at 6 p.m. and can be viewed on the Woodbine Mohawk Park simulcast show and on their Facebook page. For full details, visit www.northamericacup.com.
