Bucchero’s 2nd winner is a honey

Bucchero is the first Florida freshman sire to get two winners!

Red Honey, an Indiana-bred who finished second in her debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis on May 30, came back in her second try yesterday and romped in a $36,000 maiden special by nearly three lengths under Joe Ramos.

The 2-year-old filly who was a $48,000 Indiana Fall Mixed yearling, jumped out of the gate from the No. 8 post in the race at 4 1/2 furlongs, tracked the leaders in fourth down the backstretch, then made a strong move while very wide on the turn. She collared the three pacesetters at the top of the stretch and coasted into the lead without a challenge. Clocked in :53.66, Red Honey paid $4.40 and picked up a check for $21,600, raising her two-race total to $28,800.
