Treasure Beach adds Southern Hemisphere SW
Treasure Beach continues to enjoy success in two hemispheres, including adding a stakes-winner south of the border. At Argentina’s La Punta racetrack, Danzarin won the Clasico Juvenile at 1,200 meters on Aug. 20. The 2-year-old colt led a bunched-up pack into the stretch and just sprinted away down the lane, scoring by about six lengths. The 2-year-old colt was clocked in 1:11.70 and paid $12.05 . . . Ventajero Soy, another 2-year-old colt, won at San Isidro on the 18th.
At Gulfstream Park yesterday, racing a flat mile on the grass, Galileo’s Affair sat a perfect trip in third place down the backstretch with Emisael Jaramillo, moved three-wide on the turn, and drew off to win by 2 1/2 lengths in 1:37.77. The 3-year-old filly, a $37,000 OBS April purchase, collected $13,500 for her third career victory and now has a total of $89,020.
