Two more maiden winners for Treasure Beach

Treasure Beach boosted his number of winners to 30 yesterday via a pair of maiden scores, one in Florida and another in Louisiana.

Whiskey Moment picked up his first victory for Just For Fun Stable with a wire-to-wire effort at “about” seven furlongs over the Gulfstream Park turf course with Leonel Reyes. The 4-year-old colt went four wide into the first turn, crossed over to the rail on the backstretch, then led the rest of the way despite being pressured throughout and held on by a nose in a driving finish. He earned $11,600 after posting an Equibase rating of 80, his best ever.

Whatafind had a much easier time of it racing six furlongs at Evangeline Downs in the evening. The 3-year-old Louisiana-bred gelding was off seventh in a field of eight, moved to the two path on the turn, then appropriately emulated Linda Ronstadt’s lyrics in Blue Bayou, blowing by the field in the bayou stretch to win by 4 1/4 lengths. Third choice in the race at 7/2, the $8,500 Louisiana yearling earned $6,600.
