Nymue’s Treasure Gains 4th Career Victory

Except for being on the wrong end of a head bob in her previous race, Nymue’s Treasure would be riding a three-race winning streak at Belterra Park. The 4-year-old filly by Treasure Beach made it two victories in her last three tries yesterday via a heads-up ride by Sonny Leon in a turf race at 1 1/16 miles.

Leon had Nymue’s Treasure sitting in a perfect spot along the rail, about three lengths off the leader, down the backstretch and into the turn. When he angled off the rail looking for racing room heading into the stretch, no hole opened and he deftly shot his filly back to the hedge. Nymue’s Treasure did the rest, passing the field on the inside and prevailing by one length, collecting a check for $9,660.

It was the fourth career victory for the filly bred by Ed Seltzer, Beverly Anderson and Joe and Helen Barbazon and she’s posted a record of 2-3-1 in her last six starts.
