The draw for the Jug is Friday morning.
Apparently owner Jeffrey Snyder has informed Casie Coleman that they will forgo some of that sire stakes gold money and instead go to the Jug with Michael’s Power. Great news.
This week’s Hambletonion Society/Breeders Crown Poll reflects an interesting take on the three-year-old colt pacers. A Rocknroll Dance—the only one from that grouping to make the top ten—is number four. Bolt The Duer—a Jug eligible—is number thirteen, followed by Michaels Power at number fourteen, Heston Blue Chip—not eligible—at fifteen and Panther Hanover—also ineligible—at seventeen. Thinking Out Loud and Sweet Lou, both of whom are eligible to the Jug, and Pet Rock, who is not, are at the bottom end of the top 25.
After his win in the Adios, combined with Sunday’s win over Thinking Out Loud in the KYSS Final, BTD is a very popular colt. He was rated number five in week one of the Jug rankings which are distributed by the track publicity department, while In the latest week five rankings, he’s number three, behind Rocknroll Dance and Michaels Power..... Dance was second, and M Power third behind Panther Hanover in Saturday’s Simcoe Stakes...... Sweet Lou has been off since finishing second behind Dapper Dude—eligible—in a PASS race on September first.
Pacingguy stated on his viewfromtheracetrack.com blog that the word is that Bolt The Duer will only go one heat. Depending upon the outcome of that first heat, that could be a problem.
