Star Fights Mud For Little Brown Jug Heat Lead
Wilmington's Star led 11 rivals in the first heat of the Little Brown Jug at the Delaware Fairgrounds before a downpour swamped the track. The Urbana colt was poised to be the first Ohio owned pacer to win, with Thunderclap Meadow Rice and Adio Abe among the top threats as a second heat awaited today or tomorrow. An overflow crowd strained facilities and a faster pace could have sped the program along despite the rain.
