After an illustrious career highlighted by three Grade One wins, Omaha Beach has retired to Spendthrift Farm. The son of War Front will lead this year's freshman class with a stud fee of $45,000. We spoke to Ned Toffey about Omaha Beach and his credentials as a sire.
What separates Omaha Beach from so many others is his versatility. During his 2019 campaign, he won at distances as short as six furlongs and as long as a mile-and-an-eighth. He was also competitive in grass races and, considering that he is a son of War Front, would have likely excelled on that surface if trainer Richard Mandella and owner Rick Porter decided to take that route.
