Little Brown Jug 2024 Roll Call
Quote from Lonnie on August 21, 2024, 10:36 AMIt's that time of year already. We are about one month before the Little Brown Jug, and plans are being drawn and finalized.
Aside from answering the poll, please post a reply and let us know if you're going or not, and if you will be there, will you go for more than one race day, or only for the Little Brown Jug?

Quote from Lonnie on August 21, 2024, 10:41 AMI will be there the entire week. The only exception might be a side trip if we don't have a horse in that race day. No matter, I will be there on Jug Day.
Some possible side trips I'm considering are:
- Sunday prior:Â The Red Mile or Northfield Park (if we have a horse in)
- Monday: Ashland County Fair (might do a doubleheader: Delaware during the day, and then the evening card at the Ashland County Fair). @Amac if you're not going to the Ashland, let me know and I'll bring you back some Fried Oreos!Â

Â Wednesday is uncertain, as others in my family wanting to do other things. Â Jug Day, I already have tickets for âhead of stretch tentâ. Â My Ohio family secures those annually as a business expense and hosts an extended group. Â That is a great location where everyone is free to circulate, bet and socialize.
Looking forward to meeting as many Stable folks as possible. Â Lonnie, I am definitely open to a dinner gathering on Tuesday or Wednesday evening as was mentioned a few weeks back.

Awesome! There will be us in my party, and if you don't mind, we could open the invite up to other partners.
Some of the guys go every year to the Jug. This will be my first in 39 years! And when they go, I believe they go to the head of the stretch tent too. I'll find out more from them.

Quote from Bgtolex25 on August 21, 2024, 11:20 AMDefinitely on opening it up. Â It would nice to get a headcount a week or two prior, so we could lock down a table or private room at a local restaurant. Â I donât know the restaurant scene but could find out. Â Wouldnât hurt my feelings if someone else with more incite picked the location.
Looking forward to it.

@Amac Would TheStable be interested in setting up a Partners dinner (we would each pay, not you) on Wednesday night of Jug Week and sending out invites?

FYI: It's on us to organize a dinner for Wednesday night of Jug Week. @bgtolex25 let's brainstorm something and announce it by August 28th to get a headcount to make a reservation by Saturday, September 14th.

Quote from MaywoodAl on August 21, 2024, 8:58 PMI have never been, actually I have neve been to a county fair. Need to try to get there next year. Not enough vacation left this year and have a couple trips planned. Kentucky Downs early Sept (I am Bi, Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds), after Sunday's last race go to the Red Mile for rest of the card and stay for Monday.
Down to the Red Mile again Oct 5-6 ( if lucky the 4th) for some big money races. Get up to Dayton night of the 5th for Buckeye Stallion. Hit the Meadows for a few days, not sure what else, I'll be flexible. Make sure I am in Northfield 12/13 for Super Night and consolations.
Want to hit the Breeder's Crown, went last year to Hoosier both prelims and finals, first Crown for me. Just not sure if I swing it or not this year.

Quote from drmarciah13 on August 21, 2024, 9:56 PMHi all. I'm driving to Ohio for the Jug Sale, visiting the barn at Northfield on Saturday, and attending races there if we have anything in, then heading to Delaware for Sunday through Thursday. I can't wait! I'd love to get in on a group dinner.
I'm contemplating getting a ticket in the Top of the Stretch tent for Thursday.
Looking forward to seeing everyone! As Roger Huston would say, "Be there!"
