Happy Jug Day! On this day 45 years ago….1981 Little Brown Jug 🏇
Fan Hanover won the 1981 Little Brown Jug, driven by Glen Garnsey, from New York.
She made history as the first and only filly to ever win the prestigious pacing classic, overcoming an accident-marred final heat at the Delaware County Fairgrounds in Delaware, Ohio.
The following day a news release was published in the most humorous way to summarize the race: "It was supposed to be the running of the 36th annual Little Brown Jug, one of the jewels of the 3-year-old pacing's Triple Crown. It turned out to be a combination demolition derby and a boxing match, and it was won by a lady --- Fan Hanover, the first filly ever to win the prestigious race."
