Ella’s Island a ton the best on Monmouth turf

The wonderfully-named Ella’s Island went wire-to-wire in the third race at Monmouth Park yesterday, and raised Treasure Beach’s 2020 progeny earnings for 2020 to $898,607. At the same time, the 3-year-old filly put her sire less than $100,000 short of the $5 million mark in career earnings at $4,906,726.

Ella’s Island gunned to the lead with Hector Diaz Jr. in the turf race at 1 1/16 miles, and was seven lengths on top in mid-stretch. She won geared down by 6 1/4 in 1:44.75, paid $9, and earned a check of $12,600 for owner/breeder Debora Morgan. She didn’t race at two and is now 2-0-1 in five starts at three.
