Barton puts trust in Bodexpress runners

Bodexpress picked up his fifth winner in his second crop when Just Trust Me went virtually wire-to-wire under Kevin Krigger in a $22,000 allowance optional claimer at Turf Paradise.

Coming off a pair of seconds, the 3-year-old colt bred by Richard Barton Enterprises shot out to the lead, battled head-and-head through sizzling fractions of :21.42, :43.86 and :56.22, then took over by himself in the lane and drew off to score by nearly two lengths, clocked in 1:09.34 for the six furlongs. He paid $6.40 and the check for $13,200 raised his earnings to $90,740 on a record of 3-4-1 in 12 starts.
