Omaha Beach Goes Back To Racing
Fox Hill Farms' Omaha Beach returned to the work on Del Mar's main track. It was the 3-year-old colt's first breeze since May. At the time he was due to run in the Gr.1 Kentucky Derby but he was scratched from the race due to an entrapped epiglottis.
The son of War Front was timed in :36 3/5 Tuesday with Alex Solis aboard. The work was the fastest of 20 at the distance.
Fox Hill Farms' Rick Porter said Omaha Beach was galloping for a little more than a week leading up to the work and has continued to gain weight since returning to the track.
