You’ve heard of the Little Brown Jug, but what do you know about the Little Green Jug?

Dresden Raceway is ready to host its inaugural ‘Little Green Jug’ on Sunday.

The Little Green Jug is for everyday regular overnight horses. The conditions for this year’s race are ‘horses and geldings who are non-winners of $2,000 lifetime (non-winners of a race in last five are allowed $3,000).’

Justins Deere is the 8-5 morning line favourite for owner Larry Ainsworth of Petrolia. Ian Hyatt is the conditioner for the three-year-old Major In Art gelding who is driven by Donnie Rankin Jr.

Ncutsnbuttsncocnuts is the second favourite with Dennis Duford at the helm. The four-year-old roan Up Front Ben horse is owned by Ruleen Lilley of Dutton and John and Betty McKinnon of Glencoe while Fred Snelgrove is the trainer.

In other racing action on the day, Big Diva will look for her third win in a row at Dresden Raceway for owner Sherri Abbott of Windsor, trainer Mike Roger and driver Brad Forward. Big Diva will have to beat Brittany Kennedy’s Callmeinthemorning in the 10th race to pick up her third win. Callmeinthemorning is driven by Andy Moore.

Patrons are asked to wear green on Sunday in honour of the Little Green Jug, as there will be many giveaways and contests.

First-race post time on Sunday is 1:30 p.m.
