Omaha Beach

Kentucky Derby Horse Profile

The last major Kentucky Derby prep of the season was won by Omaha Beach. Worth 100 points for the winner, Omaha Beach would cross the wire in a muddy affair, worth noting if rain should arrive on Derby day. The prep leading up to the Arkansas Derby is the Rebel Stakes, which Omaha Beach also won in Arkansas. The bay son of hot sire War Front is owned by longtime Thoroughbred racing entity Fox Hill Farms and trained by Richard Mandella.
