New Found Treasure romps at Penn National, Treasure Beach reaching new heights

Treasure Beach’s relentless climb toward $4 million in lifetime progeny earnings continued last evening when New Found Treasure won in a romp at Penn National and Go Venezuela Go finished second at Charles Town.

New Found Treasure was the second choice at 6/5 racing a mile and 70 yards under Tyler Conner. The 3-year-old filly bred by Stonehedge Farm was third early, went two-wide on the final turn and overpowered the leaders, drawing off by 8 1/2 lengths and raising her record to 4-1-5 in 20 starts. The $6,000 check increased her earnings to $65,954. 

Go Venezuela Go’s take for her fast-closing runner-up finish was $2,275 and bumped Treasure Beach up to $3,983,848 with four runners set to compete today at Gulfstream Park and Tampa Bay Downs.
