Treasure Beach getting closer to $4 million

Treasure Beach is now less than $26,000 away from the $4 million mark in lifetime progeny earnings after the reporting of Run Black Run’s maiden score earlier in the week in Puerto Rico.

The 2-year-old colt bred by Orlyana Farm won by 1 1/4 lengths over a sloppy track at Camarero Race Track, his first victory in six starts. He paid $3.30 as favorite as Treasure Beach’s earnings soared to $3,974,848.

In a race at one mile, J’s Handsome Fana sat third in the early going under Erik Barbaran, moved four wide heading into the stretch and coasted to the wire 5 3/4 lengths in front. The 3-year-old filly bred by Faraway Farm paid $9.40 and earned a check for $6,660.
