Mucho Macho Man Wins Again

Mucho Macho Man is on a roll as a 4-year old.

The thoroughbred with Suwanee owners notched his second victory of 2012 on Saturday at Gulfstream Park in Florida with a two-length victory in the $300,000 Gulfstream Park Handicap, a one-mile, Grade 3 stakes race.

Mucho Macho Man was the 7-10 favorite and won in the fast time of 1:35.50 under jockey Ramon Dominguez, according to the Miami Herald.

In January, "3M" also won at Gulfstream.

The horse finished third in the 2011 Kentucky Derby, but did not finish in the money in the other two Triple Crown races.

Suwanee residents Dean and Patti Reeves own 3M through Reeves Thoroughbred Racing.

3M is trained by Kathy Ritvo, whose husband Tim Ritvo is Gulfstream’s president and general manager. “He’s just on a roll right now,” Dominguez said.

Mucho Macho Man’s win was his fifth win in 14 starts, The $180,000 check raised his earnings to $1,063,643, the Herald reported.

Kathy Ritvo said she will not rush 3M back to the races,
