He is listed #5It has to be Captains Quarters
I deleted it, but you got me! CQ never made it to a mil, $971,356.Captaintreacherou s is my final answer
All good man, I am on my 3rd cup of coffee already The question is most earnings in those 2 races I believe It has to be Captains Quarters He won the metro and finished 2nd I think in the NA Cup
The Back Page shows a horse that was #1 in Total earnings in the $1 Million Metro PaceAND the $1 Million Pepsi North America CupTheir total earnings are listed:#2). Beau Jangles $634,000 #3). Nijinsky $525,000#4). Louprint $525,000#5). Odds on Mr Mamba $525,000#6). Legendary Hanover. $222,750#7. Beach Glass $250,000#8). Brandon Blvd. $227,500#9). Bulldog Hanover $98,600#10. Cattlewash $.0 Who led All of these horses and was #1 ?xxxx
The legendary Standardbred pacer Somebeachsomewher e (SBSW) earned a combined total of $1,250,000 by winning the finals of both prestigious events.
Lets keep it the last decade and not go back to 2007More or less the #1 contemporaries..Even Cattlewash raced in 2019. ..7 years agoThe others are quite recent.When SBSW raced in the NA Cup the Purse was 1.5 Million as well....and the Metro was slightly higher as wellbut comparing ANY horse with SBSW is quite a task...
The horse featured on the back page of TROT Magazine is Captaintreacherou s. [1] He achieved legendary status by becoming the top money-winning Standardbred pacer of his generation. As a two-year-old, he won the $1 Million Metro Pace, bankrolling $918,253 during his rookie campaign. He followed that up as a three-year-old by winning the $1 Million Pepsi North America Cup, capturing a total of $2,055,033 that season to lead all North American harness horses in total earnings.

More correct than incorrectThe #1 leader among contemporary horseswas in fact "CQ " Captains Quarterswho was one of the few standardbreds to race in the Finalsof The Metro, Pepsi NA Cup, M(1) Pace and The JugBettors Delight, Western Hanover were several others.
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.
