Just Trust Me 2nd in $50,000 Golden Boy Stakes

Just Trust Me just missed making it four straight victories. The 3-year-old California-bred colt by Bodexpress lost a stretch-long battle by a neck to 1/2 favorite Medicine Dog in the $50,000 Golden Boy Stakes at Assiniboia Downs

Coming off three in a row, Just Trust Me went off as the 6/5 second choice in the race at six furlongs. Antonio Whitehall sent him to the lead where he was joined by the favorite, and they were glued to each other sides all the way to the wire with Medicine Dog finally gaining the upper hand, clocked in 1:12.71. It was 9 1/2 lengths back to the third horse.

Just Trust Me now sports a record of 5-5-1 in 15 starts, and the runner-up check (in U. S. dollars) of $7,426 increased his total to $125,817. He received an Equibase ‘E’ speed figure of 92, best of his 15 races.
