Youaremycandygirl, who is a winner of 15 of her 22 career races, headlines a field of eight pacing fillies for the $230,700 Jugette, which will be contested this Wednesday (Sept. 19) at the Delaware County Fair in Ohio.

The fillies will race one heat to determine the Jugette champion.

Youaremycandygirl, who is a daughter of American Ideal, owns a lifetime mark of 1:48.2 and has earned $1,263,536. The Ron Burke trainee will start from Post 3 and will be piloted by Yannick Gingras for owner W. J. Donovan.

Youaremycandygirl was a Breeders Crown winner in 2017 and thus far this season has won her $270,425 division of the Empire Breeders Classic and the $96,600 Shady Daisy.

It appears as though the main challenge to Youaremycandygirl could come from Alexas Power, who will start from Post 5. The Somebeachsomewhere lass has earned $405,195 for Jeffrey and Michael Snyder and trainer Jim Campbell.

The ultra-consistent Alexas Power has finished on the board in 11 straight races and will be piloted by Trace Tetrick.

Post time for the Wednesday card at the Delaware County Fair will be 11:00 a.m. The simulcast program will start at 10:30 a.m.
