Lopez perfect with Henny’s Treasure on Gulfstream grass

Paco Lopez gave Henny’s Treasure the picture-perfect ride at Gulfstream Park yesterday, resulting in the 3-year-old filly breaking her maiden and becoming the 16th winner this year for Treasure Beach.

Lopez rated Henny’s Treasure in fourth place in the two-path down the backstretch in the one-mile race on the turf. He moved her coming to the turn and went three wide into the stretch, taking the lead heading down the lane and holding the closers safe to prevail by one length.

Henny’s Treasure went off as the 8/5 favorite, and earned $19,700 for owner Patricia Generazio, who bred the filly in partnership with Joe and Helen Barbazon.
