Sherlyn Go Go passes century mark at Gulfstream

Sherlyn Go Go became Bucchero’s first runner to pass the century mark in earnings after a flashy score in a $54,000 allowance race at Gulfstream Park yesterday.

The 3-year-old filly bred by Dominique Damico and Fly By Breeding earned a check for $32,400, boosting her bank account for six races to $103,140. She sports a record of 2-2-1 and is now one of three Bucchero runners to have won two races.

Tyler Gaffalione was in the saddle in the race at one mile and 70 yards over the Tapeta surface, and he had Sherlyn Go Go in a perfect stalking position down the backstretch, three lengths off the leaders. Gaffalione edged her off the rail on the turn and it didn’t appear as though his filly was going to respond as they headed down the lane. But she put it in overdrive in the final sixteenth and blew by the leaders as announcer Pete Aiello called, “Sherlyn Go Go . . . front and center . . . and posing for the picture.” She won by 2 1/2 lengths clocked in 1:42.62 and paid $5.60.
