Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 8 Journalists Share Posted March 8 Accelerize (c, 3, Omaha Beach–Motion Emotion, by Take Charge Indy) romped by daylight at first asking for 'TDN Rising Star' honors on the Tampa Bay Derby undercard. Off at odds of 7-2, the $400,000 KEESEP yearling hit the ground running beneath Irad Ortiz, Jr. and cleared the field from his wide draw in post 12. He showed the way through fractions of :21.87 and :45.03 and blasted off at the top of the stretch to win going away by 7 3/4 lengths. The final time for seven furlongs was a very sharp 1:21.20. Accelerize becomes the third 'Rising Star' for Omaha Beach. With Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher currently serving a seven-day suspension imposed by the Horseracing Integrity and Welfare Unit after a horse from his barn tested positive for betamethasone, Accelerize's trainer of record is listed as his longtime assistant, Anthony Sciametta, Jr. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.

What a debut for this 3yo colt (Omaha Beach) today at Tampa Bay Downs, a very promising one with an easy victory, ridden by @iradortiz for the colors of @RepoleStable and @spendthriftfarm pic.twitter.com/MklBlCe6wx — Agentes305 (@agentes305) March 8, 2025 The post Omaha Beach Firster Accelerize Romps for ‘TDN Rising Star’ Honors at Tampa appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
