Spendthrift Farm's Omaha Beach , War Front 's brilliant three-time grade 1-winning 3-year-old of 2019, sired his first reported foal on Jan. 27 when a colt was born at Burleson Farms in Midway, Ky.
"We are thrilled with our first Omaha Beach foal and excited to have three more coming here on the farm," said Lyn Burleson. "This colt has all the right angles and a great frame to go with it. Very athletic."
Bred by Nice Guys Stable, the gray colt is the first foal out of the young Scat Daddy mare Two Sugars, a half sister to graded stakes winner Calculator and stakes winner Arms Runner.
Omaha Beach retired to Spendthrift after a decorated 3-year-old campaign in 2019. He jumped onto the Triple Crown trail with three consecutive victories including the Rebel Stakes (G2) over 2-year-old champion Game Winner and Arkansas Derby (G1) over Improbable and eventual Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (G1) winner Country House .
That fall, Omaha Beach defeated older horses when winning the Santa Anita Sprint Championship Stakes (G1) before a runner-up effort in the Big Ass Fans Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1). He closed out his campaign with an easy 2 3/4-length victory over grade 1 winner Roadster in the Malibu Stakes (G1).
An earner of $1,651,800, Omaha Beach covered 215 mares from his first book in 2020 and will stand his second season in 2021 for a fee of $35,000 stands and nurses.
