Little Brown Jug 2024 Roll Call
Quote from Bgtolex25 on August 21, 2024, 11:17 PMQuote 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!"
Sounds like a great agenda. The tent is a great place to socialize and you do have a sectioned off space outside as well. I’m sure that we will have something on the dinner very soon. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Quote from Lonnie on August 22, 2024, 12:58 AMQuote 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.
That's the type of road trip my friends and I used to take back in the day! You're making me jealous!

Doctor Marcia! We (Rich, Carmelo, and myself, plus our friend Steve) will also be there from Sunday to Thursday. However, if we don't have any horses on the Sunday card, we may take a side trip to The Red Mile or Northfield Park.
I'm staying until Sunday, as my friends are flying back on Friday, stranding me. I'll figure out where I'll head on Friday and Saturday. Depends on if, and where, our horses are racing.
Likely, after the Monday program in Delaware, we are going to catch the evening card at the Ashland County Fair, which is about an hour and 15 minutes from Delaware.
Consider yourself included in the dinner plans. I do believe we are going to try for Wednesday, one to two hours after the Jugette.

Quote from Purple Aura on August 26, 2024, 4:37 PMI've been to over 40 Jugs. I usually arrive Sunday. This year changing plans. Going to Red Mile Sunday for Sire Stakes Finals night. The races at the Jug on Sundays tend to suck ( along with Monday and Tuesday also). I'll be at the Delaware County Fairgrounds Monday. Sitting on the apron, hopefully not in baking sun. Watching Lilly and Freedom Hill winning the Buckeye Stallion Series on Tuesday afternoon would be nice.

I'm flying into Columbus on Saturday. My friends are joining me on Sunday. We will likely go to Lexington on Sunday after I pick them up at the airport. Now Saturday, it depends which way the winds blow and if any of my horses are at Northfield, The Red Mile, or The Meadows.
Which was your favorite Jug?
This is only my second Jug. First one in 1985 which was won by Nihilator, and I stood with everyone as Falcon Seelster passed the 3/4 pole in an Invitation Pace earlier on the program. That race sent shivers down everyone's spine. The Jug was very exciting too. I can't wait for this year's races. I may beg off Monday or Tuesday at Delaware. How much horse racing can a man take? So, Monday for sure we will be going to Ashland County Fair (apparently, I can take a lot!). It's only 75 minutes from Delaware, OH.

Quote from Bgtolex25 on August 26, 2024, 10:34 PMMy favorite Jug is the next one, because we get to experience it still. It does one good to see thousands of people at a track again.

I miss those days. Thankfully we still have The Little Brown Jug and that little fairgrounds in Delaware, OH to get all nostalgic-like.
