CAMPBELLVILLE, Ont. – Thinking Out Loud took the lead just before the top of the stretch and went on to capture the $1.5-million North America Cup on Saturday night.

Thinking Out Loud, an 8-1 pick with Randy Waples driving, won the world’s richest pacing event in 1:47 4/5, a stakes record that also tied the Canadian and track marks at Mohawk Racetrack.

The North America Cup win was the first for both Waples and trainer Bob McIntosh.
