Gone Astray’s runners reach another milestone
Adding a late result coming in from Puerto Rico, it turns out that Gone Astray’s runners have now won 600 races.
Amor Elviva, a 7-year-old mare bred by Walter Stipa, scored at Camarero Race Track last week and raised her record to 9-10-6 in 51 races. But with the dearth of big money available in PR, she has earned just $51,985.
Francisco Maysonett rode Amor Elviva, who carried highweight of 120 pounds in the race at 5 1/2 furlongs. He kept his mare pressed to the flank of the leader in the two path, took over in the stretch and she went on to score by 3 1/4 lengths in 1:08.33, paying $3.10. She had been off for more than a year until Nov. 6, and this was just her second outing since returning.
Gone Astray’s 600 winning rides have been accomplished by 197 winners, with 47 winners coming this year
