Unique Tigerbeach rolls on Arlington grass

Tigerbeach is one of the most unique colts in training today: the 3-year-old son of Treasure Beach has compiled a record of 2-3-1 in nine starts while campaigning at nine different tracks. He won for the second time on Memorial Day racing five furlongs on the grass at Arlington Park after returning from more than a four-month layoff.

With Jose Valdivia Jr. aboard, 3/2 favorite Tigerbeach chased the early pace to the quarter pole while on the rail, swung outside and commenced a four-wide rally into the stretch, then “rolled past the leader with a sixteenth of a mile to go,” according to the Daily Racing Form chart. The stakes-placed colt won by 1 1/2 lengths and the check for $10,800 increased his earnings to $61,217.
