Flamboro: Bruno No No No, Prince Hal Hanover tally in Juravinski Memorial Cup elims

Bruno No No No lowered the Canadian record on a half-mile track to 1:48 2/5 in winning the second of two C$35,000 Charles Juravinski Memorial Cup eliminations for 4-year-old male pacers on Sunday evening at Flamboro Downs. Prince Hal Hanover captured the other elimination.

Driven by Doug McNair, Bruno No No No landed in third but was out and on the move prior to the 26 1/5 quarter and took the top spot away from Fallout (Tim Tetrick) after that marker. From there, McNair and Bruno No No No kept the pedal to the metal through middle-half fractions of 53 1/5 and 1:20 3/5, and his 27 4/5 final kicker got him to the wire 2 1/4 lengths ahead of Fallout. Fifth And Five (James MacDonald), Lite Up The World (Mark MacDonald) and Out Of Ice (Jody Jamieson) rounded out the top five.

The time of 1:48 2/5 lowered the prior all-age Canadian half-mile record of 1:49 set by Linedrive Hanover in the Juravinski final back in 2022 and was just a fifth of a second off the world record for a 4-year-old pacing horse of 1:48 1/5 that belongs to Pet Rock and Ocean Rock.

Dave Menary trains Bruno No No No, a son of All Bets Off, for owner Pollack Racing LLC. Bruno No No No, the winner of the New Holland Series at Woodbine Mohawk Park earlier this year, has a summary of 13-4-4 from 35 outings, has banked C$249,430 and paid $3 to win.
