A Pair of Geldings Supplement Into the 81st Little Brown Jug

The connections of Redland Rocket Man and Toast Of The Town have made the $45,000 supplemental payment and are now eligible for the 81st edition of the Little Brown Jug on Thursday, September 24 at the Delaware County Fair.

Redland Rocket Man is the fastest sophomore pacer in North America this season thanks to his 1:46.4 effort in the $100,800 Simcoe Stakes (Gr. 3) last Saturday (Sept. 12) at Woodbine Mohawk Park – defeating Jug eligibles Sweet Lovin Lou and the defending ‘Horse of the Year’ Beau Jangles.

The Bulldog Hanover – Granny Hanover gelding has earned $377,020 for the partnership of Murray Cox, Gary Volpe and trainer John Pentland.

Toast Of The Town is owned by the quartet of Let It Ride Stables, Morrison Racing Stables, Jesmeral Stable and Alberg Racing.

He comes into the Jug on a three-race win streak, setting his lifetime mark of 1:48.1 in the final leg of the Pennsylvania Sires Stake at Hollywood Casino at the Meadows (Aug. 28).

Noel Daley conditions the Sweet Lou – New Year gelding, who has earned $246,117.

The entire Little Brown Jug field will be drawn when the entry box closes on Monday (Sept. 21) at 10:00 AM.

The Little Brown Jug is presented by the Ohio Harness Horseman’s Association.
