Neom Beach chalks up second stakes win in a row

One month after winning the $200,000 Ouija Board S. at Lone Star Park, Neom Beach earned her second stakes win at the Texas track on June 28 in the $125,000 Wasted Tears S.

The 4-year-old daughter of Omaha Beach is one of eight stakes winners this year for her sire, who is the across-the-board leader of the Third-Crop Sire list.

Getting an inside trip for the entire 1 1/16-mile trip, Neom Beach tracked in third for the first six furlongs before moving to the lead at the top of the lane. She held off a late charge by Vibez to win by a neck in 1:40.90 on the firm turf, less than a second off the track record.

Neom Beach is now 5-2-3 in 18 starts and has banked $662,490 for owner/trainer Steve Asmussen. The chestnut filly was bred in Kentucky by Tami Bobo.
