Jug Has No Horse
In Favorite Role

While every single one of the
previous Little Brown Jugs has
been a ding-dong affair, the 1855
edition promises to be the great
est of them all. Main reason for
this contention is the fact that not
a single colt or filly stands out
in an undisputed favorite's role.
= Winter book choice, Quick
Chief, lived up to that role for
some time, but in the Geers Stake
at Goshen, he could do no better
than fifth. To confuse matters
more, he came out of a later race
sick and at the present time his
very jug starting status is doubt
full.
Dottie's Pick after winning in
200 at Vernon, gained a great
deal of jug support from this eff
fort, but in her next start she was
soundly trimmed by two non-eli-
gibleS to the premier pacing clas-
sizes.
Each week, also, some new eli
gible, previously unknown, pops
up with an upset over more noted
opposition.
Among these dark horses" is
Hal o Matte, who routed a field
that included Meadow Ace, Mead
ow Leo, Rapid Chief and Ameri-
can Way with a 2:03 LIS mile at
Saratoga.
At Goshen, Libby's Boy, a non
eligible, and Sea Eagle, so little
thought of that he paid a 5000
plus mutuel, split the Geers Stake,
knocking such jug candidates as
Quick Chief, Newport Dean, and
others in the creek.
With the jug becoming a more
open affair each week, a record
sized field of colts is expected to
start. This, in itself, would tend
to make the jug more thrilling
than ever.
Added, however, is the fact that
whereas in the usual campaign
there may be three or four colts
who are capable of pacing a 200
mile, this year there are appar-
emily several who can do so. Thus,
there is an exceptionally good
chance that Tar Heels 200 jug
record will fall.
With a record number of start
ers and an exceptional number of
potential champions in the field,
the 1855 jug has to be the all-time
all-timer in its history. Doesn't it =?
