Turns out Go Venezuela Go loves a sloppy track

Most horsemen don’t relish the thought of running their horses on sloppy tracks, but owner/trainer Analia Larossa will no doubt change his mind regarding Go Venezuela Go after the daughter of Treasure Beach broke her maiden at Charles Town last night.

In her first 11 starts, the 4-year-old filly had raced on the turf and over fast surfaces, and even one labeled ‘good,’ but never one with the ‘sloppy’ designation. Turns out she loves it.

With son Gustavo Larossa aboard, Go Venezuela Go was off last in the 7-furlong race, but she began to move closer to the pace while in the two path down the backstretch. On the turn, she uncorked a monster five-wide run, swept into the lead at the top of the stretch and waltzed to the wire 4 3/4 lengths in front. She paid $25.80, earned a check of $6,450 for her owner/trainer and became Treasure Beach’s fifth winner of the year. Analia Larossa will probably be checking the weather reports looking for the filly’s next outing.
