Celtic Treasure wire-to-wire by 6 1/4 at Laurel

Treasure Beach made it two winners in two days when Celtic Treasure proved to be way too much to handle in a mile and one-sixteenth race at Laurel Park yesterday. The 3-year-old gelding bred by Irish Eyes Stable jumped right to the lead under Victor Carrasco and never looked back. He put up quick early fractions of :23.28 and 46.96 and was never really threatened en route to a 6 1/4-length score in 1:43.94.

Off at 3/5 and paying $3.40, Celtic Treasure earned a check for $18,810 and raised Treasure Beach’s earnings in just five days to $53,272.
