One would expect greatness from a $310,000 yearling from one of trotting's most desirable families, and Cantab Hall delivered on his potential. He went through his freshman season undefeated in 10 starts, won every major stake in sight and became the first 2-year-old in history to be voted overall "Trotter of the Year."

He came back to win close to a million dollars at 3, winning four major stakes on the season but disappointing his fans in the classics, finishing second in the $1,000,000 Hambletonian to Windsong's Legacy and second in the $530,000 World Trotting Derby to Tom Ridge, although timed in that race in a scintillating 1:50.4.

A son of Brittany-bred Self Possessed from a full sister to World Champion Cameron Hall, Cantab Hall has further delivered on his promise as a stallion. He has sired the winners of over $15-million that include 5/8-mile track World Champion and millionaire Explosive Matter and 2010's "2-Year-Old Trotting Colt of the Year," Brittany-bred Pastor Stephen.
