It’s not the biggest payday of the year, but there’s still the prestige factor that comes from picking the Little Brown Jug winner many months in advance.
It won’t be Sportswriter, much to the dismay of the 261 Dream Stable managers who selected the now-retired North America Cup champion. However, the hopes of many others are still alive.
Here’s a breakdown of how many Dream Stablers have a rooting interest in the Jug starters:
Heat 1:
Kyle Major (3)
Rock N Roll Heaven (26)
Fred And Ginger (0)
Dreamlands Art (0)
Razzle Dazzle (0)
Foreign Officer (1)
We Will See (0)
Aracache Hanover (0)
Heat 2:
Delmarvalous (6)
Classic Rock Nroll (0)
Piece Of The Rock (0)
Docs Yankee (0)
Fools Gold (0)
Versado (0)
Just Crowned (0)
Urgent Action (0)
Heat 3:
Valentino (0)
Four Starz Trace (0)
Im Gorgeous (0)
Allthatgltrsisgold (0)
Malicious (8)
Rockin Image (189)
One More Laugh (8)
Poised to make the biggest move on Jug day is the man currently sitting in 10th place in the Dream Stable standings, Harold Fleet. Despite trailing Reg and Donna Higgs’ top stable by more than $600,000, Fleet could be upwardly mobile as he is the only top 10 manager with Rock N Roll Heaven on his team. Fleet is also one of six contestants in the top 10 who selected Rockin Image.
In a case of glass-more-than-half-full, the stable of Scott & Robert Young, currently in eighth place, will be sitting on the Dream Stable sidelines with no Jug starter on its roster (having selected Sportswriter and Hes Gorgeous for the contest).
In real life, however, the Youngs are in much better shape. Bob Young is the trainer and part owner of Piece Of The Rock, who will start from post 3 in the second Jug heat on Thursday at the Delaware County Fairgrounds. Good luck, Bob.
