Three victories in a row for Treasure for Gold

Treasure Beach’s leading money-winner made it three straight at Gulfstream Park yesterday, using a heads-up ride by Tyler Gaffalione to boost her earnings to the tune of $29,500. The 3-year-old filly owned and bred by Robyn Thompson was forced wide going into the first turn of the mile race on the grass, but her talented rider was able to settle her into fourth place down the backstretch. She was shuffled back to fifth on the turn, but Gaffalione found a hole on the rail and Treasure for Gold shot through and went after the leaders at the top of the stretch. She was much the best down the lane and drew off to score by 1 1/4 lengths, clocked in 1:37.52. The Todd Pletcher-trained filly raised her record to 4-0-1 in seven starts with earnings of $133,350.
