Delaware, OH--The Little Brown jug Society met Tuesday at its annual meeting and announced future changes in the draw for post positions of their signature race. Starting in 2007, post positions for the second heat of the Little Brown Jug will be drawn by lot by connections of horses advancing to the second heat.

Horses that are first heat (eliminations) winners will draw among themselves for the right to select first, second and third. Second place finishers will then draw for the right to pick fourth, fifth and sixth. Third place finishers then follow suit.

The Jug Society also formed a committee to study the possibility of using a staggered starting gate at future Grand Circuit meetings, according to LBJ Society President Tom Thomson.

All officers were re-elected with Tom Thomson president-treasurer; Tom Wright vice-president; and Dr. Dick Gordin, secretary.
