The quartet of Bythemissal, Greatest Ending, Fourever Boy and Pleaseletmeknow lead a balanced field of 11 for the $641,550 Little Brown Jug, presented by the Ohio Harness Horsemen's Association, to be held Thursday (September 22) at the Delaware County Fair.

Greatest Ending (Mark MacDonald, post four) is owned by Reginald Petitpas and trained by Dr. Ian Moore, who won the 2008 Jug title with Shadow Play. The son of Somebeachsomewhere won the $200,000 Max Hempt Memorial Consolation and was second In the $253,000 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes final. The second elimination is headlined by Fourever Boy and Pleaseletmeknow, the second supplemental entry.

The bay son of Sweet Lou is co-owned by the Micki Rae Stables and trainer Tim Twaddle. Pleaseletmeknow (Matt Kakaley, post six) was recently crowned as the New York Sire Stakes champion.
