FIRST WINNER FOR OMAHA BEACH 12 May 2023 09:51
Cynane who won
first time out May 11 at Belmont Park became the first winner for Spendthrift
Farm’s sire Omaha Beach and also is the first winner for the
freshman stallion class of 2023.
The filly is now
raced by partners VinLaur Racing Stables, West Paces Racing, and Rainbow’s End
Racing Stable. She is trained by Thomas Morley and was ridden for her debut by
Javier Castellano.
Cynane made quick
work of her first race, a five-furlong $90,000 maiden special weight on the
turf against six challengers. About a furlong from the gate, she had the lead
and as she entered the turn widened that lead to two lengths. Cynane never
faced a serious threat and was 2 3/4 lengths the best at the wire. The final
time was :57.61.
Omaha Beach, a
multiple grade 1-winning son of War Front , was the leader of his class
at the 2022 yearling sales with an average of $200,098 and median of $160,000.
