Little Brown Jug

Hosted by the Delaware County Agricultural Society since 1946 at the County Fairgrounds in Delaware, Ohio. The Little Brown Jug is raced in heats. The first heat is split into several divisions, with the top finishers in each division returning to contest the second heat. A horse wins the Little Brown Jug by winning both heats. If a horse does not win both heats, a raceoff is conducted between the first heat division winners, and the winner of the second heat, to determine the champion.
