Little Brown Jug

The Little Brown Jug is a harness race hosted by the Delaware County Agricultural Society since 1946 at the County Fairgrounds in Delaware, Ohio. The race takes place every year on the third Thursday after Labor Day. Along with the Hambletonian, a race for trotters, it is one of the two most coveted races for standardbred horses, and has been the middle leg of the Triple Crown of Harness Racing for Pacers since 1956.
