Omaha Spirit Goes Two-for-Two with Colonial Stakes Win

A debut winner going a sixteenth shorter at this venue in July, Omaha Spirit (Omaha Beach) took her next step up with aplomb, winning Monday's Rosie's Stakes at Colonial Downs. Installed the 7-5 choice to double up, the Kentucky-bred shot to the front, leading Bee Crazy through an opening quarter in :22.66. In front turning for home, the favorite held sway by 1 1/4 lengths at the wire. Bee Crazy was second while Regent's Walk and Golden Corsair dead-heated for third. Lifting Spirit is also responsible for a yearling colt by Street Sense in addition to a weanling colt by Oscar Performance. A half-sister to MGSW-Eng Duke of Hazzard (Fr) (Lope de Vega {Ire}), the Irish-bred mare was bred back to Up to the Mark.
