Treasure Beach brothers score in 4-day span

Just four days ago, Hunters Dream scored his second career victory, a 10-length stunner at Finger Lakes. The 3-year-old gelding is by Treasure Beach out of the Wildcat Heir mare Karen’s Wildcat, and was bred by Gilbert and Marilyn Campbell at their Stonehedge Farm in Williston. Hunters Dream broke his maiden racing for the Campbells last year, but now campaigns in the barn of James Acquilino.

At Laurel Park yesterday, River Hawk, the 2-year-old full brother to Hunters Dream, made his debut for the Campbells and gave the Treasure Beach-Karen’s Wildcat mating two sharp winners in the four-day span.

Trevor McCarthy was aboard River Hawk, who sat right on the flank of 7/5 Side Car down the backstretch and into the turn, then out-gamed the favorite to the wire to prevail by one length. The gelding earned a check for $15,390 while becoming Treasure Beach’s 33rd winner of 2019. He was clocked in an excellent 1:03.61 for the 5 1/2 furlongs on the turf.
