The excuse isn’t the lay-off. It was that the horse wasn’t himself which is the entire reason he didn’t run in the rest of the Tc trail and why he had bloodwork done and got checked out. It was clear Servis did not want to run him here and his hand was probably forced by the west’s.

Agreed

Good article Brian. How quick people are to forget Omaha beach. You hit the nail on the head. He was the most talked about and dominant horse going into the derby, and now people are like ‘hmmm division is wide open’. Undefeated on the dirt since his close second place finish, and beat some nice horses without even running on the TC Trail in game winner, Improbable, country house, etc. my guess is if he comes back the same or better and he takes a prep, the PA derby, and finishes well in the classic he’s three year old champ

Let’s see how Omaha beach comes back first before we make premature statements. He has always been the cream of this crop

Doubtful

The division is ripe for the taking, all he has to do is reach out and grab it. Even though he missed the TC, having already beat Game Winner, Gunmetal Grey, Long Range Toddy, Improbable, and Country House, all he has to do is Win his prep, the PA Derby, and finish ahead of the other 3 year olds in the BCC and the award is his.

You have it wrong. It is not that a lot of us support him. It was that we did not agree with the bogus DQ and knew he was the rightful winner. And whether or not you like him, face is he was undefeated. Personally I always thought Omaha beach was the better horse, more impressive and beat better fields.

Omaha beach imo could win it

Imo I thought Omaha beach would have gotten the best of him if the two faced off. Wasn’t expecting this result today but at the same time I’m not shocked with the horse being ‘off’ after the derby

Lol
