mayfield is absolute horrible I can believe they gave him a contract now there stuck with . at least they can finally get rid of bowles. [/pre]

will the Jug itself have 2 divisions...the top 3 year old not even bothering to show up

We will find out tomorrow morning, but I am guessing yes
That is not uncommon about the best 3 year olds not coming
That has happened many times..why?
Two heats and 1/2 mile are my guess..
Best example..SBSW

same playbook
ez to see
more deflection
sorry you got it wrong
anything else
bye bye

wow
sign of the times with all the sires stakes programs and a shortage of quality horses
in fairness i see the final goes for $227k, they are going to need to boost that in the coming years, i suspect the same will apply for the jug itself

Correct!

Look at the quality of the NYSS 3 year old colt and gelding pacers.
You had 2 legs with 4 and 5 horses fields.
Only a 7 horse field for the final.
The excelsior division had about 20 or so at the beginning.
Did other states have the same issue?
Now you only have the best of the best racing the jugette.
1/2 mile track doesn’t encourage entries for these events. 
How many will be racing the jug Thursday??
