Buccherino breaks his maiden at Parx in style

Another day, another impressive maiden winner for sizzling Bucchero.

Buccherino, a $75,000 OBS April 2-year-old, broke his maiden under Dexter Haddock at Parx in his second start and made it look easy. The colt bred by Blue River Bloodstock had finished second in his Monmouth Park debut on Aug. 4, and came back in just 16 days in a $61,5000 maiden special at odds of 4/5; he paid $3.60 and scored by 2 1/4 lengths in 1:07.69 for the 5 1/2 furlongs.

Buccherino earned $36,000, raising his total for the two races to $47,500 and is Bucchero’s 29th winner of 2023, and sixth 2-year-old winner.
