Beach Dreaming feeding on Gulfstream grass

Beach Dreaming made it two straight victories and three of her last five with a come-from-behind score on the Gulfstream Park grass yesterday.

With Leonel Reyes riding, the 4-year-old Kentucky-bred daughter of Treasure Beach sat a close-up trip behind the leaders down the backstretch, moved three wide on the turn, and proved to be much the best in the lane, winning by 2 1/4 lengths. The victory was worth $11,400 and raised Beach Dreaming’s career total to $51,670 on a record of 3-2-1 in nine starts.

The day before, Treasure Beach fans lost a rare chance to see one of the stallion’s Argentine runners compete when DRFBETs/Xpress Bet switched the simulcast of the day’s races from San Isidro to another South American track. They missed watching the 3-year-old colt Don Etanol winning the ninth race.
