The #1 leader among contemporary horses
was in fact "CQ " Captains Quarters
who was one of the few standardbreds to race in the Finals
of The Metro, Pepsi NA Cup, M(1) Pace and The Jug
Bettors Delight, Western Hanover were several others.
What you stated in the original post was "Total earnings in the $1 Million Metro Pace AND the $1 Million Pepsi North America Cup"
Captains Quarters did not win both.

Winning both the [Metro Pace](https://www.google.com/search?q=Metro+Pace&kgmid=/g/11ddx3j5qn) (as a two-year-old) and the Pepsi North America Cup (as a three-year-old) is one of the most elite achievements for a standardbred pacer. [1, 2]
Several legendary horses have completed this difficult double, including:
*
* [Captaintreacherous](https://www.google.com/search?q=captaintreacherous&kgmid=/g/11mw5jzstv) (Metro Pace: 2012 | North America Cup: 2013) – Notably the sire of Captains Quarters.
* [Tall Dark Stranger](https://www.google.com/search?q=tall+dark+stranger&kgmid=/g/11m__2hv9f) (Metro Pace: 2019 | North America Cup: 2020)
* Sportswriter (Metro Pace: 2009 | North America Cup: 2010)
* [Somebeachsomewhere](https://www.google.com/search?q=somebeachsomewhere&kgmid=/m/03c0mcg) (Metro Pace: 2007 | North America Cup: 2008)
* Rocknroll Hanover (Metro Pace: 2004 | North America Cup: 2005)
* [Gallo Blue Chip](https://www.google.com/search?q=gallo+blue+chip&kgmid=/m/0114dwb9) (Metro Pace: 1999 | North America Cup: 2000)
* The Panderosa (Metro Pace: 1998 | North America Cup: 1999)
* Presidential Ball (Metro Pace: 1992 | North America Cup: 1993) [1, 3, 4, 5]
