Following a 1:49.2 stakes record performance in the $342,875 Cane Pace on Saturday night at Pocono Downs, the connections of Betterthancheddar will supplement the Bettors Delight colt to the 66th edition of the Little Brown Jug at the Delaware County Fair.
Trainer Casie Coleman confirmed with Trot Insider on Sunday that Betterthancheddar will be supplemented to the second leg of the pacing triple crown, which takes place on September 22. The only way an ineligible horse can supplement to the Jug is by winning the first leg, the Cane Pace, and paying the $45,000 fee.
Coleman also noted that Yannick Gingras will retain the drive.
Unraced at two, Betterthancheddar has won five times in 11 starts this year while banking close to $250,000 for owners Steve Calhoun of Chatham, Ont. and the West Wins Stable of Cambridge, Ont.
