Treasure Hunter finding best form at age 4

Treasure Hunter is now a 4-year-old, and the Kentucky-bred gelding by Treasure Beach is in the midst of enjoying his best season. With Eswan Flores in the irons yesterday, Treasure Hunter raised his record since Jan. 1 to 2-1-1 in four starts, running down 8/5 favorite Cabin John down the lane to score by a length in a one-mile race at Santa Anita.

The gelding bred by Norman Houston earned $27,600 for the score, lifting his bank account to $142,910, and $57,960 of the total has come via his four starts this year. He boosted his overall record to 4-7-3 in 22 tries, as Treasure Beach’s progeny earnings jumped to $520,041.
