Koriner Will Aim Joker Boy For Golden State Juvenile At Del Mar

Trainer Brian Koriner reported that Joker Boy, winner of Saturday's I'm Smokin' Stakes for California-breds came out of the race in good shape and will be aimed for the Golden State Juvenile Stakes on the Breeders' Cup undercard here Friday, November 5.

Billed as “Future Stars Friday,” the five $1-$2 million Breeders' Cup races will be preceded by four stakes with purses of either $175,000 or $200,000. The $175,000 Golden State Juvenile Stakes at seven furlongs is an eighth of a mile longer than the $100,000 I'm Smokin' which Joker Boy negotiated wire-to-wire in winning by 3 ½ lengths.

“We may run him once at Santa Anita before that,” Koriner said. “We're just going to go day by day and let the horse tell us what to do.”
