Junebugs Baby Wins Northside Feature

Junebugs Baby reclaimed the top class title from rival Silver Dragon at Northside Downs on Saturday afternoon.

Junebugs Baby overtook Putnams Power after the opening quarter in the featured $1,100 Winners Over Pace and kept first over Hoosier King at bay en route to a 1:58.3 triumph. Silver Dragon rallied home off cover to place over two lengths behind with Putnams Power rounding out the top three finishers.

A winner in his five-year-old season's debut on June 14 over Silver Dragon, Junebugs Baby settled for third-place honours last week behind that foe.

The five-year-old homebred, who is two-for-three on the year, is owned by trainer/driver Fraser Turnbull and John Turnbull Jr. He now boasts 23 wins in 45 lifetime starts and a bankroll of $72,794.
