Treasure Beach gains winners 46 and 47 up north
Wowee broke her maiden at Meadowlands, and Seattle Treasure earned his third career victory at Woodbine, both at 1 1/16 miles on the grass, and Treasure Beach added his 46th and 47th winners of 2019 to his ledger yesterday.
Wowee, a 2-year-old making her second start, went wire-to-wire under Jomar Torres on a turf course labeled ‘good’ and won by nearly two lengths. Off the board in her first try, the filly bred by Ed Seltzer, Beverly Anderson and Joe and Helen Barbazon was sent off at 25-1 and paid a generous $53, while collecting a check for $9,600.
Seattle Treasure stalked the pace in fourth place along the rail down the backstretch with Rafael Hernandez, made a bold move on the turn, took the lead entering the stretch, then held off the closers by one-half length. The twice stakes-placed gelding boosted his earnings to $120,898.
