Joiner Saddles Sister To World Champion On Friday Night

LOS ALAMITOS, CA—SEPTEMBER 19, 2019—Trainer Justin Joiner, who had a tremendous winter season at Los Alamitos Race course in 2018, will showcase a quartet of young runners here on Friday night.

Joiner, who has spent the last six months in the Southwest racing circuit, won the Grade 1 Golden State Million and Grade 1 Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity here last year with eventual champion 2-year-old Flash And Roll. He also saddled eventual AQHA World Champion Bodacious Eagle to victory in the Champion of Champions.

On Friday, Joiner will have Bodacious Dreamgirl and Jess Helene in the fourth race at 330 yards and Apollitical B King and A Lucky Ladies Man in the sixth race also at 330.

Owned by Johnny Trotter and Randy Geiselman, Bodacious Dreamgirl is a 2-year-old filly by One Famous Eagle out of Bodacious Dream. She's a full sister to the aforementioned champion Bodacious Eagle, who earned over $1.2 million during his outstanding career before retiring at the end of 2018.

Top Juveniles Square Off In Allowance On Saturday

EG High Desert Farms' homebred filly A Mere Bail will look for another solid performance when the daughter of A Mere Chocolate heads a field of seven juveniles in the $12,125 allowance main event in the seventh race on Saturday at Los Alamitos.

A Mere Bail has hit the board in all but one of her five starts this season with her lone victory coming in the $25,000 Freshman Stakes for Fillies at 330 yards. A Mere Bail has run third in three other starts - one of them against the highly-regarded Budderlicous in a trial to the Grade 1 Ed Burke Million Futurity. Other top young runners in action will be Spirit Foose, who finished ahead of A Mere Bail in a recent allowance event on August 25, and Evee, a half-length maiden winner on August 30.

The racing program will feature an allowance in race eight. This group will be headed by Pink Shoelaces, a stakes runner at Sun Downs, and Jacque On Fire, who gets some class relief after facing top mares with no success in back-to-back stakes races.
