At Tampa Bay Downs, two more Pleasant Acres breeders’ awards

Last week, Pleasant Acres celebrated three winners in the span of two days, the first two at Gulfstream Park with Charlotte the Brit and Emirates Affair garnering breeders’ awards for Joe and Helen Barbazon. The third victory, by Blissful Change at Fair Grounds, was the result of a partnership of the Barbazons with Ed Seltzer and Beverly Anderson.

Two more breeders’ awards were earned at Tampa Bay Downs on Wednesday via runners by Treasure Beach. The Barbazons earned an award in the seventh race courtesy of China Beach, a 4-year-old gelding who won by 2 1/2 lengths at a mile on the turf course in a maiden race with a purse of $19,000. He paid $11.

Two races later, Awilda’s Treasure lit up the tote board at $51.20, winning by 1 1/2 lengths in a one-mile race on the turf with a purse of $18,950. The 4-year-old filly is another product of the Barbazon-Seltzer/Anderson partnership.
