Bucchero filly joins winning family at Presque Isle

Bucchero marches on.

The son of Kantharos moved another step closer to the $2 million mark in progeny earnings for 2023, with the wire-to-wire victory of Orphan Exchange, who broke her maiden at Presque Isle yesterday in her seventh start. The 3-year-old filly bred in Tennessee by Dr. Ross Russell became winner No. 39 this year from 75 Bucchero starters.

Gaddiel Martinez was aboard Orphan Exchange, who paid $7.40 after scoring by 1 1/2 lengths, clocked in 1:12.00 for six furlongs over the all-weather track. She earned a check for $9,000 for the Russell family.
