Beachtreasuregirl breaks her maiden, pays $2.40

It was a little more heart-stopping than anticipated, but in the end Beachtreasuregirl didn’t disappoint the favorite players at Delaware Park yesterday. The 3-year-old filly bred by Joe and Helen Barbazon broke her maiden by one-half length after a spirited stretch battle going six furlongs with Robert Paz aboard.

With Beachtreasuregirl having been a contender in all but one of her previous six races, the $10,000 OBS March 2-year-old was sent off at odds of 1/5 and paid $2.40, while collecting a check for $9,000. She sports a record of 1-3-2 in seven starts and became winner No. 45 for Treasure Beach this year.
