Going to the Beach goes to Gulfstream winner’s circle

Pleasant Acres Stallions’ May successes continued yesterday at Gulfstream Park when Going to the Beach broke his maiden with a stylish performance at the distance of “about’ 7 1/2 furlongs on the grass. The 3-year-old gelding by Treasure Beach became the 11th winner for his sire this year despite being bumped leaving the gate and getting off last in the 11-horse field. But Emisael Jaramillo gradually moved Going to the Beach into contention, went wide on the final turn, and the gelding proved to be best late, winning by 1 1/2 lengths. His clocking of 1:28.57 was less than one second off the course record. 

Going to the Beach was bred by the old T-Square Stud team of Adam and Suzette Parker and Leverett and Linda Miller and earned $11,600 for the winning effort.
