Gone Astray filly gets more valuable with every race

Valuable Breigh is living up to her name up north; she’s won four in a row at Delaware Park and Parx Racing.

The 4-year-old daughter of Gone Astray won No. 4 at Parx, in a $31,000 starter allowance at 6 1/2 furlongs with Mychel Sanchez in the saddle. Sanchez put the filly on the lead at the break and Valuable Breigh led every step of the way with fractions of :22.76, :46.25 and 1:12.20, and holding her rivals at bay to score by one length. Her previous three victories were by 2 1/4, 4 3/4 and 7 1/4 lengths, a combined total for the four of 15 1/4 lengths.

Valuable Breigh had been claimed out of her last on Sept. 20 by big-time trainer Jamie Ness, and her first start in his barn was worth $18,000 in her bank account and $3.60 at the mutuel windows. She’s now 7-2-2 in 24 starts with earnings of $119,270.
