Tellmeaboutit sports newest millionaire
Tellmeaboutit, the veteran war horse for Alvin Miller and Twila Harts, was elevated into elite company Friday, May 8 at Harrah’s Hoosier Park. The 10-year-old Indiana gelding scored the win that placed him over the $1 million mark in earnings. LeWayne Miller was along for the ride.
Tellmeaboutit has always been versatile and can race in many different scenarios. This night, Miller sent him straight to the lead on the sloppy track through rainy conditions. He passed by the first quarter in :27.0 before Sanday A and Marcus Miller passed him up and led the field through the half in :56.1. Tellmeaboutit was flushed to the outside around the final turn and when he was at the top of the lane, he was following Naturally Gifted A and Atlee Bender into the stretch.
Tellmeaboutit put a strong final quarter in motion during the $18,000 Open 2-3 Pace, traveling home in :27.1 for the win by one and one-quarter lengths under wraps by Miller. Sanday A finished second a half length ahead of Naturally Gifted A.
Tellmeaboutit paid $15.20 for the win. The veteran son of Tellitlikeitis was bred by Lavon Miller and isn’t the first millionaire for the partnership of Twila Harts and Alvin Miller, who have had many Indiana champions over the years. They were also the connections behind the great Rocket Fuel, who also surpassed $1 million during his career under the direction of the Miller barn based out of the Converse Fairgrounds.
Tellmeaboutit earned his third win of 2026 and his 40th overall. He has 155 career starts with a career best time of 1:47.4 taken as a six-year-old at Harrah’s Hoosier Park. In all, six of his nine years on the track, he has taken a sub 1:50 mark. Tellmeaboutit sold out of the In-Law Stables consignment at the Hoosier Classic Yearling Sale with Alvin Miller signing the ticket for $25,000. That class has now produced two millionaires as Little Rocket Man sold in the same sale and recently surpassed $3 million.
LeWayne Miller was back in the winner’s circle a few races later, this time with a horse from his barn. Princess in Pink, trained by Miller, started from the second tier but rallied up late in the lane to nab the win in 1:54.3, one length ahead of Peachy Girl and Kyle Wilfong. Evening Slippers and Trace Tetrick finished third in the $12,500 conditioned pace.
Princess in Pink paid $13.20 for the win. The four-year-old daughter of Capt Midnight is owned by LeWayne Miller, Lyndar Stables, and GS Racing. She is a homebred filly, bred and raised by LeWayne Miller and Lyndar Stables.
