Riding a horse named Apolitical Gold, 25-year-old Justine Klaiber became the first woman to win a race at California’s Los Alamitos Race Course.
The victory came at Sunday’s Golden State Million Dollar Futurity and it was worth a total of $1.1 million.
“It’s been amazing,” Klaiber said. “I am grateful to have been able to ride all year-long for (trainer) Eddie Willis and have the opportunity to compete.”
