Bucchero’s first runner finishes second at Golden Gate Fields

The long-awaited debut of Bucchero’s first runner is now in the books: Yvonne’s Miss turned in a solid runner-up performance in a five-furlong race over the all-weather track at Golden Gate Fields.

The filly bred by Ari F. Herbertson went off at 7/2 for her first try in a $40,350 maiden special and broke well with jockey William Antongeorgi III, who had Yvonne’s Miss on the tail of pace-setter Smiling Lady as they passed the first quarter in a sizzling :21.43. On the turn, Yvonne’s Miss ranged up on the outside of the leader and they battled through the stretch, only to be overtaken nearing the wire by fast-closing Fumano’s Girl.

Despite the torrid pace, Yvonne’s Miss held on for second, worth $7,800 to owner Scott Herbertson.

Gone Astray picked up his 22nd winner when Felon scored his fourth career victory in a six-furlong race at Columbus Races in Nebraska. Carry high-weight of 126 pounds, including jockey Zack Ziegler, the 6-year-old gelding bred by SCF Inc. raised his record to 4-6-11 in 46 starts, and his bank account to $74,721.
