OMAHA SPIRIT (f, 2, Omaha Beach–Lifting Spirit {Ire}, by Siyouni {Fr}) was well-supported at 7-5 odds for this unveiling, and caught a flier out of the gate to lead the field into the turn after an opening quarter in :22.85 which saw her build a clear advantage heading for home. Called on to keep her mind in the game, Omaha Spirit's margin dwindled late, but Never Sleep (City of Light) was unable to close the final three-quarter-length gap on the wire.The victress is the first to the races for Lifting Spirit (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), a half-sister to multiple Group winner Duke of Hazzard (Fr) (Lope de Vega {Ire}). Omaha Spirit claims a pair of half-brothers–a yearling by Street Sense and a 2026 Oscar Performance.The third dam Palace Weekend (Seattle Dancer) can claim a very productive broodmare career as the mother of Group 1 winner Palace Episode (Machiavellian) and the winning Adventure (Unbridled's Song). The latter also enjoyed a fruitful second career in the breeding shed by way of her most famous daughter, GSW & MG1SP-Ire Laughing Lashes (Mr. Greeley).Through that mare, Adventure's branch of the family eventually yielded SW & GSP Sneaker (Oscar Performance). This is the distant female family of Canadian champion juvenile filly Spring in the Air (Spring at Last) and MGSW & GISP Tejano Run (Tejano).4th-Colonial Downs, $67,700, Msw, 7-5, 2yo, 5fT, :57.37, fm, 3/4 length.OMAHA SPIRIT (f, 2, Omaha Beach–Lifting Spirit {Ire}, by Siyouni {Fr}) Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,000.
