The Little Brown Jugette is an American harness racing event for three-year-old fillies run annually since 1971 at the Delaware County Fairgrounds racetrack in Delaware, Ohio. It is the counterpart to the Little Brown Jug for colts.[1]

History

In the 2003 race, Numeric Hanover won as a result of the disqualification for interference of Odds On Charmaine, who had finished first but set back to fifth.[2]

Call Me Queen Be won the first heat of the 2016 Jugette in a world record time for three-year-old pacing fillies. Hall of Fame driver John Campbell guided L A Delight to a win in the second heat to earn the overall Jugette title and in so doing broke his own record for most wins with his fifth Jugette. Similarly, Hall of Fame trainer Robert McIntosh earned his third win, tying him with Billy Haughton for most Jugette victories.[3]

Party Girl Hill broke the world record again in 2020 in the first heat with a time of 1:49 3/5. She then went on to win the final.
