Delaware, OH — A pair of 3-year-old colts, Bythemissal and Pleaseletmeknow, have been supplemented for $45,000 into the 77th edition of the Little Brown Jug, presented by the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association, to be raced on Thursday (Sept. 22) at Delaware.

Bythemissal is owned by Burke Racing Stable, Eric Good, Rich Lombardo Racing and Weaver Bruscemi and is conditioned by Ron Burke. He is a gelded son of Downbytheseaside and is looking to be the first Ohio bred Jug champ since BJ Scoot in 1988. Bythemissal had only one start as a 2-year-old but has made up for lost time this season. He has amassed $534,750 in 2022 earnings thanks to wins in the $350,000 Adios Pace final and the $300,000 Carl Milstein Memorial.

Pleaseletmeknow was recently crowned as the New York Sire Stakes champion. He is trained by Travis Alexander for Fiddler’s Creek Stables. He is a homebred son of American Ideal. Pleaseletmeknow has eight seasonal wins in 12 starts and has earned $522,194 lifetime.

Supplemental entries have fared well in the Little Brown Jug. Two of the recent Jug champs were supplemental entries — Wiggle It Jiggleit (2015) and Courtly Choice (2018).

The complete field will be announced after the entry box closes on Monday (Sept. 19) at 10 a.m.
