The time was right for MOMENT IS HERE who went wire-to-wire in the first $50,000 elimination of the 78th Little Brown Jug in a speedy 1:50.1.
Following a 26 second opening panel, driver Tim Tetrick maintained comfortable fractions of 54, 1:22.1 to score for trainer & co-owner Bob McIntosh with partners Al McIntosh Holdings, Frank Baldachino & Mardon Stables. A gelded son of ALL BETS OFF, he was also bred by Bob McIntosh. He paid $12.80 to win the sixth race of his career.
HUNGRY ANGEL BOY (Todd McCarthy-Tony Alagna) finished second; BLUE HUNT (Andrew McCarthy-Deborah Daquet) was third.
This race, with a $1,000,000 total purse, was sponsored by Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association.
