Floridians enjoying ‘the Beaches’

The heat wave has ended, but South Florida’s bettors are still enjoying the beach. At Gulfstream West yesterday, it was Don ‘s Beach, a 3-year-old who was bet down to 7/10 in a race at a flat mile over the main track. The Treasure Beach gelding bred by Stonehedge Farm recently returned from a mediocre stay at Presque Isle Downs and its all-weather track, where there are no beaches, and has posted a victory and a third in two starts. He went wire to-wire under Mike Allen, leaving the field in the dust down the lane to score by nearly seven lengths, while collecting a check for $10,400.
