Lexington, Ky-- Bettor's Delight and Real Desire will meet in a rematch of
the Little Brown Jug in Friday's $401,400 Tattersalls Pace at The Red Mile.
Jug winner Bettor's Delight drew Post 3 and runner-up Real Desire will leave
from Post 6, the same post positions these two 3-year-old rivals drew in their Jug elimination heat.

Bettor's Delight, the 4-5 morning line favorite, comes into the Tattersalls Pace with earnings of $2,308,514, a record of 150, and will be driven by Mike Lachance for owner John Grant of Hornby, Ontario. The son of Cam's Card Shark also won the $1,148,000 North America Cup. He is trained by Scott McEneny.

Real Desire, the 8-5 second choice, defeated Bettor's Delight in the $1,099,000 Meadowlands Pace. The Life Sign colt has winnings of $1,523,213 and a record of 149. John Campbell will be in the sulky for trainer Blair Burgess and owners Brittany Farms, Robert Burgess, Perretti Farms and Karin Olsson-Burgess.

Real Desire and Hawaiian Cowboy were supplemented into the Tattersalls at a cost of $25,000 plus $5,000 starting fee.

Ranked one-two among the juvenile pacers in 2000, this year the sophomores have not only renewed their rivalry, but they have also etched their place in the record books with some of the most memorable on-track battles the sport has ever witnessed.

Add the fact that Bettor's Delight's driver, Mike Lachance, and Real Desire's driver, John Campbell, are the top two money-winning reinsmen ever, and it is easy to see why the rivalry has become so heated this year.

In the Jug, raced on September 20 at Delaware, Ohio, Bettor's Delight twice defeated Real Desire. Last week Real Desire won a division of the Bluegrass Stakes in 150.4. Bettor's Delight has not raced since the Jug.

The Tattersalls Pace is the centerpiece of Friday's closing day program and is programmed as the 12th and final race on othe Red Mile card. Post time Friday is 1230 p.m.
