Delaware Track Boasts May Harness Records
Delaware County Fairgrounds half mile track in Delaware Ohio has produced more world championship performances than any other two lap oval in the nation. Since 1939 the venue has seen 50 records, 33 of them listed by the United States Trotting Association. Notable marks include two minute miles on a half mile track by Tar Heel and Prince Jay and the Little Brown Jug pacing classic at 2 01. Tar Heel later lowered his mark to two minutes flat over two heats. Harness fans anticipate further records when the Grand Circuit opens September 16 and the sixth Little Brown Jug purse reaches 65000.
