Bythemissal brings driver Chris Page his first Little Brown Jug win and trainer Ron Burke his fourth.
It took 36,028 races, but Chris Page’s childhood dream came true Thursday at the Delaware County Fair.
The win was Page’s first in the biggest race at his home track, and it comes 28 years after he witnessed his first Jug in 1994. He swore then that it would someday be him hoisting the trophy.“I can't even put it into words,” Page said. “It's just a whole bunch of emotions. I've been coming to the Little Brown Jug since I was a little guy and standing on the fence cheering.
“He was super,” second trainer Mickey Burke said of the elimination win. “The horse went exactly the way Chris wanted to drive him, and he paced home on his own. Chris said he couldn't have been any better.” “You need to be aggressive,” Burke said. “You're not going to win here just watching the race. You got to be in it.”
“The thing is, I'm not done,” Burke said. “I’ve got to catch those guys. I don’t like being second. I’ve got a lot more to go. But I'm thrilled to win this one ... because it gave Chris his first, and he's our guy.”
