Phil Terry, Director of Simulcast for the Delaware County Fair and the Little Brown Jug, announced that all wagers made on the 3rd Future will be refunded because of a programming error. After receiving the third pool program file from Delaware County Fair, TrackMaster accidentally over wrote it with the previous second pool program and distributed the incorrect program to their customers.  All tracks and outlets using TrackMaster as their program source received the old 2nd pool and their patrons used this program to make their selections thus recording all wagers on the wrong horse.  For instance, in the third pool Doonbeg was horse number 7 but patrons using the incorrect program from pool # 2 wanting to wager on Doonbeg would have bet on horse # 6 which was Dave Panlone in the third pool.

After reviewing what had transpired and conferring with Ohio State Racing Commission Officials Terry ordered the refund of all wagers made on the third Little Brown Jug Future Wager pool.  Patrons having made wagers on the third pool should contact the track or internet provider to find out how to receive their refund.  The Ohio Amtote hub is making the necessary arrangements to refund these wagers if you have questions for them they may be contacted at 614-875-2795.  Terry said “This was an unfortunate error and the only way to treat all bettors fairly would be to refund all wagers made in the third pool.”

Terry went on to say that the Fourth Future Pool will open as scheduled on Sunday, September 17, 2006, the first day of live racing at the Delaware County Fair.
