Twisted Ride and jockey Andy Hernandez<\/a> broke on top from post three but were quickly joined by Buccherino who started from post one. Buccherino kept a head in front of Twisted Ride through quarter-mile splits of :22.46 and :45.41 as Caramel Chip tried to get even from third with a three-wide move past the quarter-mile marker.<\/p>\n Buccherino shook off his rivals coming out of the turn then sprinted away to win by two-and-three-quarter lengths in 1:15.43 on the fast track. Caramel Chip finished second by a nose ahead of Twisted Ride in third. Ninetypercentmaddie, Gordian Knot and Scaramouche completed the order of finish.<\/p>\n Buccherino was sent to the post as the 2-5 favorite and paid $2.80 to win.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n It was the third win in five starts this year for Buccherino, who is trained by Alfredo Velazquez<\/a>. He began his 2025 campaign on May 5, winning his first two races. He produced a neck victory against upper level allowance horses going six furlongs<\/a> at Parx then traveled to Monmouth Park to win the $100,000 Mr. Prospector<\/a> by a length, again at six furlongs, on May 26. He was second to Full Moon Madness in the $100,000 Alapocas Run at Delaware Park on June 14 then fourth in the $102,000 Wolf Hill Stakes going five-and-a-half furlongs on the turf on June 19 in his last race before the State Representative\u2019s Sprint.<\/p>\n This is the second stakes victory at Parx for Buccherino, who won last year\u2019s Salvatore M. DeBunda Sprint there in August.<\/p>\n Buccherino improved his career record to seven wins in 15 races with two seconds and three thirds and increased his earnings to $386,600. Happy Tenth Stable bought him out of the 2023 Ocala Breeders\u2019 Sales Spring Sale<\/a> for $75,000 where he was consigned by breeder Blue River Bloodstock<\/a>. He is by Bucchero out of the winning First Dude<\/a> mare Bellimbusto<\/a>, who was owned by Blue River Bloodstock during her racing career.<\/p>\n Buccherino is the second foal out of Bellimbusto, who has one other starter, a winner, from five foals. She has an unraced 2-year-old filly by Leinster, who stands in Florida at Pleasant Acres Stallions<\/a>; an unnamed yearling filly by Ocala Stud stallion Colonel Liam<\/a>; and a weanling filly by Pleasant Acres Stallion\u2019s Verifying<\/a>. She was bred back to Verifying in 2025.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/47729-OBSF-Anniversary-Sale_1200px.png\")
