Beach Bomb and Gimme A Nother Finish Strong in U.S. Stakes
Dual G1 winner Beach Bomb delivered another creditable performance when finishing second in Friday’s G3 Sheepshead Bay Stakes at Aqueduct. The daughter of Lancaster Bomber and Beach Beauty broke out at the start, then settled close to the pace in the two path. She remained under a light hold until urged three furlongs from home, came under stronger encouragement nearing the quarter pole, and swung three-wide into the upper stretch.
Ridden by Javier Castellano, the favourite showed plenty of heart but was outkicked late, with Bellezza powering home to defeat Beach Bomb by a length and a half.
Equus Champion Gimme A Nother also ran a strong race, finishing second in Friday’s G3 Modesty Stakes presented by Verity Prime. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight rallied from the back of the field in the Churchill Downs feature but found only dual G1 winner She Feels Pretty too strong on the day.
She rated patiently early and unleashed her run in the stretch to secure second place.
Trainer Graham Motion has indicated that Gimme A Nother’s next outing could be in the G1 New York Stakes on Belmont Stakes weekend.
