“Jiggy” jogs in $112,500 Six Pack Mares Open

Jiggy Jog S (Walner) posted a 1:51 clocking en route to capturing the $112,500 Six Pack Mares Open on Saturday night, Jul. 1 at The Meadowlands, steered by her harness racing trainer Ake Svanstedt with a front-stepping effort.

The 4-year-old brown daughter out of the Cantab Hall mare Hot Mess Hanover 3, 1:53.4f ($99,672), fought off a late charge by the hard trying Bella Bellini (Bar Hopping), who was driven by Dexter Dunn as the 7-2 second choice.  Jiggy Jog had left the gate as the 1-5 favorite and is now three for three this season, and has 13 triumphs to her credit lifetime, with $1,258,451 in lifetime earnings.

Bred by Vestmarka AB of Sweden, Jiggy Jog is owned Jorgen Sparreldal Inc, of Delray Beach, Florida.  She won the $675,000 Breeders Crown Final in 2022, as well as the $276,000 Kentucky Filly Futurity in a career best 1:50 for these same connections and now has 13 career triumphs to her credit.

“She was fantastic again, so there’s really not much more to say about her,” Sparreldal related to Dave Little in the Big M winner’s circle.  “She’s going to race three straight weeks in a row, so she kind of needed a simple race.”

Jiggy Jog trotted easily through fractions of :28.1, :56.4, and 1:25. Fashion Schooner (Walner) was third at 25-1 for Tim Tetrick, with Raised By Linda (Walner) fourth at 10-1 with Yannick Gingras at the lines.
