Delaware County Fair - Jug Day Selections

First of all, if you are looking for Wednesday's selections, click here.  For the rest of you, the big day is upon us.  Thursday is the 66th edition of the Little Brown Jug.  Jug day, without a third heat race-off, consists of a twenty-four race card.  As I mentioned yesterday, due to tote limitations, there are two race programs on Thursday.  The first program consists of five races; the second program nineteen races, twenty if a race-off is necesssary.

This year, the Little Brown Jug is a wide-open affair.  Sure there are favorites such as Big Bad John, Roll With Joe, Custard The Dragon, and Betterthancheddar, but no one horse has been dominating all year.  So it would not be a shock if one of the other horses takes down the title of Little Brown Jug Champion.  Unfortunately, with only twelve horses entered, we are dealt with two six-horse fields so getting a good value wager may be a challenge.
