Timshel wins second straight, pays $23.60

The most surprising aspect of Timshel’s second straight victory was that after breaking his maiden in a race at one mile over the turf course at Tampa Bay Downs, the 3-year-old Neolithic gelding was allowed to go off at 10-1 in a four-horse race at Gulfstream Park under the same conditions.

With Diego Herrera aboard, the gelding owned and bred by Dr. Tiffany Atteberry and Scott Brown contested the early lead in the $42,000 starter optional claiming race, then proved best by a neck and paid $23.60. He was clocked in 1:34.63 and earned a check for $24,200, raising his three-race total to $42,975.
