Treasure Beach gelding’s treasury still on the improve

Seattle Treasure, a member of Treasure Beach’s $100,000-plus club, added to his resume yesterday with a gritty, come-from-behind victory over the Fort Erie grass course.

Under Sunny Singh, the 5-year-old gelding was off seventh in a field of nine racing ‘about’ 7 1/2 furlongs. Singh moved Seattle Treasure to the inside early, and they began picking off horses with a strong rail run down the backside. On the turn,with four rivals still in front of them, Singh swung Seattle Treasure to mid-track, and the gelding made a huge run the last sixteenth to get up by a head at the wire.

Seattle Treasure was clocked in 1:24.25 and became winner No. 15 for his sire this year, increasing his earnings to $136,272 on a record of 5-3-6 in 33 starts.
