The connections of two fillies have made the supplemental payment and will be racing in the 2024 Jugette for sophomore pacers at the Delaware County Fair on Wednesday, Sept. 18.
A $15,000 USD payment was made to include Soft Shot and Dandys Mercy in the filly classic.
The runner-up in last weekend’s $340,541 Pennsylvania Sire Stake Final at Pocono Downs, Dandys Mercy has five wins this season and has finished outside the top three just once in 11 seasonal starts.
The daughter of Captain Crunch is trained by John Butenschoen for co-owners Hart Walker, Dandy Farms Racing, Ft Racing Stable and Douglas Overhiser.
Soft Shot (pictured above) comes into Delaware off a gate-to-wire win in the Filly and Mare Open Pace at The Meadows (September 4) in a lifetime best time of 1:51.
Earlier this year, the Heston Blue Chip lass had an eight-race win streak. The New York bred is owned by Paul O’Neil and conditioned by Jessica Roegner.
The rest of the Jugette field and the entire Wednesday card will be drawn on Sunday, Sept. 15 after the entry box closes.
