Should David Miller and Night Hawk capture the $641,550 race, it make the Reynoldsburg native the winningest driver in Little Brown Jug history.
When David Miller slips into the sulky behind the Night Hawk for the 2022 Little Brown Jug on Thursday, he will be seeking more than a trophy and a hefty payday.Should he and the bay pacing colt capture the $641,550 race, it will mark Miller’s sixth time in the winner’s circle, making the Reynoldsburg native the winningest driver in Jug history.
He is the winningest driver in the fair’s history and has competed in 23 consecutive editions of the Little Brown Jug − 28 overall. Miller is tied with Hall of Famers Billy Haughton and Mike Lachance with five Jug wins each. He captured his first Jug trophy 11 years later, steering No Pan Intended to victory, on their way to the Pacing Triple Crown.In 2008, he chose Shadow Play after qualifying two horses for the final, and then learned the pacer suffered a foot ailment between heats that required expert and emergency farrier support. Shadow Play then romped to a six-length win.
“I thought going into the final that he could win it,” Miller recalled. “I was really confident in him. I figured the race would go a certain way, and we took advantage of that. He raced exactly the way I thought he would.” “He’s been a very solid horse this year,” Miller said. “I think he has a really good, legitimate shot. He’s trained over this track for two years. I always say homefield advantage is an edge.”
