It isn't just 'watching harness racing'.. It is the Little Brown Jug (Thursday), and today, the Jugette.. It is a unique and delightful Americana slice unlike almost anything you can imagine.
You have been I assume?

NOT to the Jug.. But know the scene and area well from having lived in Cincy '82-'84...

We had Sam McKee from Meadowlands on the Show tonight... He was great. Called a race at the Fair at age 14... Either he or Huston were going to join us on the air depending on how close to the segment the races ended... It was McKee and he was great...

LIved in Worthington,OH, for a while so was very aware of what went on just up the road. Had a dog show on the fair grounds with my smooth fox terrier (who won nothing) about a week before the Jug one year. Picture this - a small county fair grounds, with a typical county fair track, surrounded by steel frame grandstands that seemed to reach the sky, like they used to have in the end of the Horseshoe at Ohio State.
