Friday’s Insights: Omaha Beach Colt Storms Tampa Dirt For Debut

8th-TAM, $53K, Msw, 3yo, 7f, 4:03 p.m. ET.
Bred by Clearsky Farms, ACCLAIMED VICTOR (Omaha Beach) makes his first start for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher. The $725,000 Keeneland September grad, who was purchased by St. Elias, was the third highest selling yearling in 2022 by his top five first-crop sire.

Out of Color Me Flying (Distorted Humor), the 3-year-old is a half-brother to MGSP Colorful Mischief (Into Mischief), who St. Elias acquired at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton Select Yearling Sale for $300,000.

Acclaimed Victor's extended female family includes his dam's half-sister MGSW Teresa Z (Smart Strike), and third dam MGISW My Flag (Easy Goer), who is responsible for champion 2-year-old filly Storm Flag Flying (Storm Cat). TJCIS PPS
