Late-breaking news: Box of Gold is Treasure Beach’s 7th winner

Box of Gold scored a hard-fought victory at Penn National on Saturday night, but the lateness of the race, followed by President’s Day, caused the Blood-Horse to be several days late reporting Treasure Beach’s seventh winner of the year.

The 4-year-old filly bred by Stonehedge Farm sat off the pace early in the mile and 70-yard race, and began to move up three wide with Julio Hernandez down the backstretch. Box of Gold reached the lead at the top of the stretch and an all-out battle to the wire against Miss Cinderella ensued, with the Treasure Beach filly prevailing by half a length for her second career victory, She raised her earnings to $46,299, while Treasure Beach has surpassed $207,000 for the first seven weeks of the season.
