Owner and breeder Tom Hill discussed 2016 Pepsi North America Cup starter Racing Hill with Trot Insider at the post draw on Tuesday, June 14. The $1 million final will be contested on Saturday, June 18 at Mohawk Racetrack.

The Roll With Joe-Chasing Ideals colt regrouped from a brief break in stride in the stretch and finished third in the fastest of two eliminations behind runner-up Lyons Snyder and 1:49.1 winner Betting Line. Racing Hill drew post six and will be driven by Brett Miller, with trainer Tony Alagna making a shoeing change from steel to aluminum for the final, a race that's definitely high on the Hamilton, Ont.-based owner's personal bucket list.

"It's one of the races I would really like to win...probably the race I would like to win. I came second with Art Colony in 2009. He finished second off the seven-hole. So we drew the six-hole, which is one better, so I'm hoping we [finish] one better this time."
