Today is Little Brown Jug day. The unique annual event pits some of the best 3YO pacers in the land against each other in a two heat affair.
This year's edition seems a little sparse on major-league talent, but like the Kentucky Derby, a superstar is never a factor on a watch, don't watch decision. For a free program, you can get it here (The Jug is in "program 2"
In elim one, we have two fairly fresh horses that I'll be watching: Big Bad John and Foreclosure. In the second elim you have the top colt in the land - Roll With Joe. He got an absolutely brutal trip last time (the inside horses finished one, two, three in the Cane) and still raced well. Up the Credit was absolutely awesome in the Simcoe, and I expect him to show up today.
Good luck if you are playing the card today.
