Schmaltz to be honored by Little Brown Jug

Two-time Hervey Award winning harness racing writer, Brad Schmaltz has been named the Tom White Media Award winner for 2021 by the Little Brown Jug and the Delaware County Fair.

Schmaltz grew up in Wapakoneta, Ohio and graduated from Bowling Green State University. After stints at The Evening Leader (St. Marys, OH) and the Springfield (OH) News Sun, he worked at the Columbus Dispatch for over 22 years, until his retirement in 2007.
