Omaha Beach works half-mile at Del Mar
Barbara D. Livingston Omaha Beach was timed in 49.20 seconds at Del Mar on Monday.
DEL MAR, Calif. – Omaha Beach, now in a regular work pattern as he seeks to get back into action, went a half-mile in 49.20 seconds on Monday morning at Del Mar while in company for trainer Richard Mandella.
“Didn’t let him do too much. Second work, first half, but he went really nice,” said Mandella.
As with his first work last week, former jockey Alex Solis was aboard.
Omaha Beach has not raced since winning the Arkansas Derby. He was the morning-line favorite for the Kentucky Derby, but was withdrawn because of an entrapped epiglottis, which was surgically repaired.
