Steel Beach sends Treasure Beach over $1 million

Treasure Beach’s career progeny earnings surpassed the $1 million mark yesterday when Steel Beach broke his maiden with a wire-to-wire victory on the grass at Gulfstream Park. The 3-year-old gelding had started twice on the dirt before switching to the turf course and showing great improvement.

With Jose Alvarez aboard, Steel Beach took the lead out of the gate, held off 7/10 favorite Nonno Nino throughout the mile and one-sixteenth run, and prevailed by a neck at the wire. The gelding owned and bred by Hart Farm LLC paid $67.80 while becoming his sire’s 13th winner of 2018 and earning a check for $11,600, raising Treasure Beach’s earnings to $1,011,525.
