Spend a Buck Is Back in the Money Again : Jersey Derby Victory Earns Colt a Record $2.6 Million
May 28, 1985|BILL CHRISTINE | Times Staff Writer CHERRY HILL, N.J. — Spend a Buck carried Laffit Pincay across the finish line and $2.6 million to the vault in a little more than two minutes Monday, but trainer Cam Gambolati's heart was in his shoe by the time the brilliant 3-year-old got to the wire first in the Jersey Derby. Challenged fore and aft--by Huddle Up for the lead through the first six furlongs and by Creme Fraiche on the inside and El Basco on the outside in the battle through the stretch--Spend a Buck proved best by a neck before 30,360 fans at Garden State Park, assuring owners Dennis and Linda Diaz of the $600,000 winner's purse and a $2 million bonus, the biggest payday in racing history.
