At Parx Racing on Jan. 4, Galileo’s Affair became Treasure Beach’s first winner of 2020. Yesterday, at the same track, she became his second repeat winner.
The 5-year-old mare bred by Joe and Kris Carroll continued the great success she has achieved over the past four seasons, lifting her record to 8-4-7 in 32 starts. She’s won two of her last three, and the $12,600 paycheck boosted her earnings to $182,060.
Galileo’s Affair went right to the lead in the 1 1/8ths-mile race and held it until the top of the stretch, where she was challenged by 6/5 favorite Jumpin Jett. But it was no contest in the lane as she drew off to score by nearly three lengths, paying $6.80.
Over the weekend, Relampago Women won a maiden special at Camarero Race Track in Puerto Rico and became Treasure Beach’s eighth winner of the season. The 4-year-old filly was fifth and last early in the 5 1/2-furlong race, then Samuel Cardona took her six wide on the turn and she swept by the field, including the 2/5 favorite and even-money second choice, to win by 1 1/4 lengths. Bred by Joe and Helen Barbazon, Relampago Women earned $6,380; she’s 1-2-1 in her last four starts.
