ALVARADO CAPS FOUR-WIN AFTERNOON WITH UPSET VICTORY ON GGF TURF
Jockey Frank Alvarado capped a four-win afternoon at Golden Gate Fields by guiding 13-to-1 longshot Jules J to a runaway victory in the $29,000 allowance feature.
Jules J took command from wandering pacesetter Take a Peak approaching the stretch and rambled home to win the one-mile turf contest for 2-year-old fillies by 15 lengths in
1:38.62. Take a Peak took second by four lengths over Meetyouatgrouion’s, the 8-to-5 favorite.
Jules J, trained by William E. Morey, paid $29.60 to win after collecting her third win in six career starts.
Earlier in the card, Alvarado posted back-to-back-to-back victories. Alvarado won the third race with Haimish Hy ($5.20), the fourth with Griffinstown ($6.80), and the fifth with Cahill Country ($11.80).
