Two more breeders’ awards for the Barbazons, one a record-breaker

Joe and Helen Barbazon struck for two breeders’ awards yesterday via former Pleasant Acres stallions, one with long-time partners at Gulfstream Park in track-record time and the other at Tampa Bay Downs.

Extendo, a 3-year-old colt by Handsome Mike who is now 2-for-3, went wire-to-wire at Gulfstream under Luis Saez, winning a $39,000 starter optional claimer by nearly seven lengths in a record 1:01.61 for 5 1/2 furlongs over the Tapeta track. Bred in partnership with Ed Seltzer and Beverly Anderson, Extendo collected $23,800, boosting his three-race take to $43,840. The $25,000 OBS June 2-year-old is out of Jeekers, who now has five foals and five winners.

At Tampa, Poseidon’s Myth, a 5-year-old gelding by Poseidons Warrior bred by the Barbazons, won the eighth race by a nose under Angel Arroyo for his first career victory.
