Tigerbeach closes in on $100,000

Treasure Beach’s runners continue to excel on the grass and Tigerbeach added to the record in the first race at Gulfstream Park yesterday. With Luis Saez in the irons, the 3-year-old stakes-placed gelding posted a sharp wire-to-wire performance, never being threatened throughout the 7 1/2-furlong trip and scoring by 3 1/4 comfortable lengths.

Tigerbeach earned $14,700 for the victory and boosted his earnings to $83,527 on a record of 3-4-2 in 14 starts. The gelding bred by John C. Pereira has been worse than fourth just twice.
