Treasure Beach gains 18th winner at Gulfstream

Galileo’s Affair celebrated Derby day with a sharp score at Gulfstream Park, getting her fourth career victory and giving Treasure Beach his 18th winner of 2019. Jeffrey Sanchez enjoyed a rocking-chair ride aboard the 4-year-old filly, who is now 4-3-7 in 23 starts with earnings of $123,380.

Sanchez settled Galileo’s Affair into fourth place in the one-mile race, and when the real running began, she inhaled the leaders and drew off to win by 3 1/4 lengths in 1:37.50. A $37,000 OBS April 2-year-old bred by Joe and Kris Carroll, she sent Treasure Beach’s earnings for the year to $484,131.

Treasure Beach also added two recent winners in Argentina, the 3-year-old filly La Renoleta scoring at Hippodromo Argentino De Palermo and the 3-year-old colt Logging On winning at Rosario.
