Delaware County Fair: Ten filliies enter Jugette

Ten 3-year-old filly pacers will force a pair of eliminations for the 52nd edition of the $255,100 Jugette (Wednesday, September 21) at the Delaware County Fair.

The first elimination will feature Treacherous Dragon (post two) and the locally-based Trick Of The Light (post four).

Treacherous Dragon started the season with six straight wins, including the $308,770 Fan Hanover on June 18. She has earned $594,813 and owns a lifetime mark of 1:49 1/5. The Captaintreacherous filly is owned by the Hot Lead Farm of Allentown, NJ, and trained by Nancy Takter. Dexter Dunn will drive.

The Indiana-bred Trick Of The Light (Trace Tetrick) has been a force on the sires stakes scene in the Hoosier State - winning three legs and earning $374,650 lifetime. Country Club Acres, Joe Sbrocco and Kirk Nichols owns the Odds On Equuleus filly and Brian Brown trains - all four connections are Ohio residents.

The second $25,000 elimination will have both of the $15,000 supplemental entries – Sea Silk (post one) and Sweet Treasure (post four).

The Ohio-bred Sea Silk has won five of her eight seasonal starts - sweeping the four preliminary Ohio Sires Stake legs and the Ohio State Fair Stake - earning $210,364 this year. The Downbytheseaside filly is owned by Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, Knox Services and Hatfield Stables, conditioned by Ron Burke and will get the services of driver Chris Page.

Sweet Treasure (Andrew McCarthy) is a daughter of Sweet Lou. She is also owned by the Hot Lead Farm and trained by Nancy Takter. Sweet Treasure finished second in the $253,000 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes final and the $92,300 Shady Daisy. Unraced at two, she has now earned $150,559 with her three wins and four seconds in eight seasonal starts.
