‘STAR OF PARADISE’ RUNS 2ND IN $125,000 STAKES

“Star of Paradise,” a 5 year old son of TASTE OF PARADISE, ran an unlucky second in the $125,000 Buck’s Boy Handicap at Hawthorne Race Track going 1 1/16 miles on Saturday. In a dog fight heading for home, he was cut off by the eventual winner, but re-rallied to finish a hard luck second as the longest shot in the field at 74-1. The second place finish boosted his lifetime earnings to $190,390.
