Another strong stretch run works for Sunshine Treasure

In her last start, Sunshine Treasure was fouled while making a strong run in deep stretch and she finished second, then was moved up to first by disqualification. At Gulfstream Park yesterday, the 4-year-old filly by Treasure Beach encountered no such trouble and made it two in a row, getting up to win by one-half length in a one-mile race on the grass.

With Jairo Rendon aboard, Sunshine Treasure languished near the rear of the eight-filly field, and still had three or four lengths to make up in deep stretch. She closed that gap while five wide and registered her third career victory, earning a check for $12,900 for owner Patricia Generazio, who bred the filly in partnership with Joe and Helen Barbazon.

Sunshine Treasure increased her bank account to $70,270 and left her sire in fourth place on Florida’s list of active stallions with 2019 earnings of $1,489,533.
