Weekend winners send Bucchero over $2 million

The weekend heroics of Anamnestic and Hydria at Gulfstream Park vaulted Bucchero to new heights; the son of Kantharos passed the $2 million mark in 2023 progeny earnings, and he now has 42 winners who have won 77 races.

ANAMNESTIC: With Edgar Perez in the irons, the 3-year-old colt bred by Belvedere Farm scored the gamest of victories in a $43,000 allowance optional claimer at a mile and 70-yards over the Tapeta course. Perez settled Anamnestic into fourth place down the backstretch, then made a three-wide move on turn and the colt took the lead into the stretch. He lost the edge at the eighth pole and appeared to have to settle for second, but he fought back gamely and regained the lead at the wire, winning by a head.

Anamnestic earned $25,800 for the victory, raising his career bank account to $103,068 on a record of 2-4-0 in 13 starts.

HYDRIA – It took the 3-year-old filly four tries over the Tapeta course until she finally put it all together for her first victory, a one-length come-from-behind score under Samuel Camacho Jr. and a check for $11,600. She paid $27.20 after getting 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:06.24.
