Jeanieonthebeach likes running on the grass

Trainer David Fawkes had the 2-year-old filly Jeanieonthebeach ready to roll for her career debut in the 10th race at Gulfstream Park today. The daughter of Treasure Beach proceeded to turn in one of the stellar performances for her sire this year, overcoming some early trouble and becoming his first juvenile winner of 2018. Miguel Vasquez settled Jeanieonthebeach in mid-pack in the one-mile test on the turf, and when the rail opened up nearing the quarter pole, he shot her through the hole to take the lead, and she quickly cruised to a six-length margin by mid-stretch. Vasquez had her geared down in the final sixteenth and the filly won by 4 1/4 lengths. The $22,000 OBS April 2-year-old eclipsed her purchase price, earning a check for $23,650 for Pinnacle Racing Stable.
