Joker Face made it two straight victories with a game nose score over the Hollywood Park turf course on Nov. 11. The 3-year-old son of It's No Joke was sent off as the 2-1 favorite, and came from just off the pace under Rafael Bejarano's strong urging to nail pacesetter Welcome Home Ryan in the final strides. The gelding was clocked in 1:35.67 for the mile on the grass.

Joker Face didn't break his maiden until Aug. 7 at Del Mar, but has followed that up with a second and two more victories. The latest was worth $22,200 and increased his total to $81,060.
