Two more weekend winners for Bucchero

It was another good weekend for Bucchero; two more winners, giving him 38 this year from 72 starters, nine of them 2-year-olds.

REZASROLEX – After a second-place finish in his debut, the 2-year-old gelding went wire-to-wire under Julio Felix in a $16,200 maiden special at one mile on the grass at Belterra Park. Rezarolex was clocked in 1:38.12, holding off all challenges to score by a neck and collecting a check for $9,558, lifting his two-race total to $12,798 for owner/breeder Scott Herbertson. He paid $6.00.

ENSIGN SKIP – The 3-year-old gelding was fractious and proved hard to handle in the gate, but Edgard Zayas was still able to get the maiden away quickly in the race at a mile and 70 yards over the Gulfstream Park Tapeta surface. Ensign Skip sat a comfortable second down the backstretch, but wasn’t making progress on the turn and looked well-beaten. Zayas persevered, got the gelding bred by Crystal Lanum rolling again, and he squeezed between horses nearing the wire to win by three-quarters of a length. The $25,000 OBS October yearling paid $3.80 and came away with a record of 1-0-4 in 12 starts. He earned $11,600, raising his total to $32,270.
