Badlands Nitro, winner of the $538,270 Art Rooney Final and the $500,000 Battle Of Brandywine, is the 4-1 favourite in the second of three future wagering pools for the 63rd Little Brown Jug.
Somebeachsomewhere, who was the 3-1 betting choice in the first future wagering pool, is next at odds of 9-2. Somebeachsomewhere is not expected to race in the Jug.
Santanna Blue Chip is third in the morning line at odds of 6-1. Santanna Blue Chip was third in the Pepsi North America Cup Final, second in the Art Rooney Final and second in the Confederation Cup Final.
The Field is also 6-1 in the morning line. The Field includes all three-year-olds except the 23 who are ranked in the future pool morning line.
Meadowlands Pace winner Art Official is included in the Field. Although he is not eligible to the Little Brown Jug, Art Official can supplement into the Jug if he should win the Cane Pace, scheduled for September 2 at Freehold Raceway.
Future wagering will be offered at race tracks and on internet sites throughout North America. For complete past performance lines for all Jug eligibles, click here.
