| Welcome to the Little Brown Jug® Web Site! The Little Brown Jug® is the most prestigious 3-year-old pacing race in North America. Each year more people journey to Delaware, Ohio to witness the "Jug" than to see any other harness race. 1997 was largest crowd ever to see a harness race, over 56,000, was in attendance. A horse has to win two heats to be declared the winner of the "Jug". There are typically two or three elimination heats, and then the top finishing horses come back for a second heat. If no horse has won two heats the heat winners come back for a final heat. This makes for a very interesting afternoon of racing. Little Brown Jug® day is almost like an Oktoberfest ... people come early and tailgate. Sports Illustrated once said that the biggest cocktail party in the state of Ohio is at the Delaware County Fairgrounds on "Jug" day. Join us for the 63rd Little Brown Jug® on September 18th, 2008. If you have never been to the Little Brown® Jug you have missed a wonderful day. For many people this is the only harness race seen all year. If you do come, you will find it addicting and I'll wager you come back again and again. I hope you enjoy our Web site. If you have any suggestions, please let me know at (740) 363-6000. Sincerely, Tom Thomson |
