Omaha Beach, who was tabbed for the Grade 1, $1 million Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile on Thursday, will bring an ascending Beyer Speed Figure pattern into the Nov. 2 race at Santa Anita.
The horse who has made eight career starts has improved his Beyer Figures with every out. Here's a look at his numbers from his debut on turf last September at Del Mar - a 62 - to his victory in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Sprint Championship in his most recent out Oct. 5 - a 103.
62-78-80-83-90-96-101-103
The Beyer of 96 was earned for his win in a division of the Rebel in March at Oaklawn.
The Beyer of 101 was earned for his win over fellow Dirt Mile candidate Improbable in the Arkansas Derby in April at Oaklawn.
