Itโs Little Brown Jug Race Day! This year, weโre especially proud to celebrate Western Dreamer, who has been inducted into the 2026 Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame as a Veteran Horse. Western Dreamer made history in 1997 when he won the Little Brown Jug before going on to capture the Pacing Triple Crown, a feat achieved by just 10 horses!
His legacy continues to live on at the Kentucky Horse Park and with everyone who remembers this incredible champion. Guests can still see a special display honoring his racing career in the International Museum of the Horse, including his actual Little Brown Jug trophy! ๐๐
