Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 17, 2019 Journalists Share Posted August 17, 2019 Grade I winner Omaha Beach (War Front)’s impending return to the races has been delayed after he developed symptoms of a virus that has been passing through trainer Richard Mandella’s stable. A late defection from the GI Kentucky Derby, where he was likely to be favored, due to a throat issue that required surgery, the bay was being pointed at either the Shared Belief S. or GII Pat O’Brien S. next weekend. Mandella was also forced to scratch United (Giant’s Causeway) from Saturday’s GII Del Mar H. due to the virus. “They both have symptoms of the virus that is going around–mucus and congestion,” Mandella said. “A couple of my 2-year-olds have it with a fever, but Omaha and United do not have a fever yet.” The post Omaha Beach’s Next Start Pending Due to Virus appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
