Orseno fillies run 1-2 on Gulfstream turf; Bucchero gets 13th winner

The eighth race at Gulfstream Park yesterday was an all-Joe Orseno affair from start to finish. The veteran trainer’s Beauty of the Sea went wire-to-wire in the $40,000 maiden optional claimer at five furlongs over the turf course, and stablemate Dan’s Candi Gold was second for the entire trip.

Beauty of the Sea is a 3-year-old filly by Bucchero and became the stallion’s 13th winner of 2023 in just her third start. Edgar Perez was aboard the filly bred by Shade Tree Thoroughbreds who won by a length and earned a check for $24,400, upping her total to $33,160. She was clocked in :57.08 and paid $7.
