Jug Future Wagering Pool Info

Published: September 8, 2016 12:51 pm EDT

Wagering on the first of two Little Brown Jug future wagering pools will start at 12:00 noon on Thursday, September 8 and will continue through 11:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 11 at racetracks and internet sites throughout North America and Europe.

Betting Line has been installed at the 5-2 morning line favourite. The brown son of Bettors Delight has won 10 straight starts and has banked more than $1.4 million. Betting Line is owned by trainer Casie Coleman’s West Wins Stable, Christine Calhoun and Mac Nichol.

The Ontario-based Betting Line has won the North America Cup, the Battle of the Brandywine and the Carl Milstein Memorial. The win in the Milstein Memorial was the colt’s first trip outside of Canada and his only start on a half-mile track.

The 3-1 second choice is the $500,000 Messenger Stakes champion, Racing Hill. The Roll With Joe colt has won $1,345,028 for his owner, Tom Hill. The ultra-consistent colt has finished on the board in all 11 of his seasonal starts.

Control The Moment was tapped as the third choice at 4-1. Due to the announcement that the son of Well Said was retired due to injury, Control The Moment will be scratched from the future wager. The colt had four wins on the season, including the Meadowlands Pace and the Cane Pace.

A team of harness racing analysts and handicappers has selected a group of 14 colts and geldings. The horses in each of the pools are listed in alphabetical order. The mutuel field consists of the remaining horses eligible to the 71st edition of the pacing classic.

The minimum future wager is $1 and all future wagers are ‘win’ wagering only. The winner of each pool will be determined by the official first-place finisher of the 2016 Little Brown Jug, presented by the Ohio Harness Horseman’s Association, which is to be raced during the afternoon of Thursday, September 22.

The record payout for the LBJ Future Wager is P Forty Seven (2005 – Pool #1) at $377.80.

The second future pool will be from Sunday, September 18 through Wednesday, September 21.

Past performance lines for the Little Brown Jug Future Wagering event will be available free of charge on the Little Brown Jug website (littlebrownjug.com).
