Jamieson Drives Redland Rocket Man to Victory in Grade 1 Little Brown Jug
The Ontario-sired pacer earned $300,000 and became only the fourth from the province to capture the 81-year-old race.
- On Thursday, driver Jodi Jamieson guided Redland Rocket Man to victory in the 81st Little Brown Jug at the Delaware County Fair, winning by 4 1/4 lengths in 1:49.4.
- Trainer John Pentland and co-owners Murray Cox and Gary Volpe paid $45,000 in supplemental fees to enter the horse, believing he deserved a chance after a dominant September 12 victory at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
- Redland Rocket Man became just the fourth Ontario-sired horse to win the 81-year-old race, which serves as the second leg of the Triple Crown for 3-year-old pacers, a performance rival driver Yannick Gingras praised as that of a "speed horse."
- The victory earned Redland Rocket Man $300,000, pushing his career earnings to $677,020, while trainer John Pentland became the 11th Canadian-based conditioner to capture the Little Brown Jug trophy.
- Jamieson, who won the Little Brown Jug in 2007 with Tell All, reflected on the second victory, saying, "To finally get my first Grade 1 win and do it in the Little Brown Jug, I'm not sure it comes better than that.
