The Little Brown Jug is a harness race for 3-year-old pacing Standardbreds at the Fairgrounds in Delaware, OH. It’s the 2nd leg of harness racing’s triple crown. What’s pretty incredible is the race is run in heats all on the same day. So, today whichever horse wins the race will have to have run at least two races *today*. Much different from the Thoroughbreds but no less impressive. I love the name of this race. It sounds so small and simple for something that’s a great accomplishment.
