Benoit & Associates Bad Ju Ju wins the Kalookan Queen at Santa Anita in December.
ARCADIA, Calif. – Bad Ju Ju, the winner of the Kalookan Queen Stakes at Santa Anita in December, is out of training with a minor injury, trainer Peter Miller said last weekend.
Bad Ju Ju was last of five in the Grade 2 Santa Monica Stakes on Jan. 21.
“She came out of the race with a bruised cannon bone,” Miller said. “She’s going to get 60 to 90 days. She should be fine.”
Owned by Gary Hartunian’s Rockingham Ranch, Bad Ju Ju has won 7 of 18 starts and earned $309,731. The Kalookan Queen Stakes was her first stakes win. A 5-year-old mare by Desert Code, Bad Ju Ju was claimed for $40,000 in October by Miller and Hartunian.
