Beach Patrol

Beach Patrol finished in the top three in his first two races before posting back-to-back wins at Santa Anita Park. He then finished second in the Grade 2 American Turf Stakes in what was, at the time, a career-best performance.

After finishing third in the Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes in July 2016, Beach Patrol earned a breakthrough stakes win when he edged Long Island Sound by a head to win the Grade 1, $450,000 Secretariat Stakes at Arlington Park.

Beach Patrol then finished second in the Grade 3 Hill Prince Stakes as well as the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby to close out his 3-year-old season.

He opened his 4-year-old campaign by running second in the Grade 1 Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap, but he was disqualified for interference and place fourth. Beach Patrol then finished second in the Woodford Reserve Turf Classic Stakes on the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands undercard. He subsequently ran fourth in the Woodford Reserve Manhattan Stakes, beaten by less than two lengths, before running third in the Grade 1 United Nations Stakes. A return trip to Arlington proved just what the doctor ordered for Beach Patrol, who regained his winning sride when rallying to win the Grade 1 Arlington Million Stakes in August 2017.

Beach Patrol carried his top form into September, capturing the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic by five lengths to head to the Longines Breeders' Cup Turf with a two-race winning streak in tow. In the Longines Turf, Beach Patrol ran a heck of a race, taking the lead in deep stretch only to be passed by European invader Talismanic in the closing strides en route to a runner-up finish.

Beach Patrol made his return to the races in May 2018 on the Kentucky Derby undercard in the Grade 1 Old Forester Turf Classic Stakes. He fought for the lead entering the stretch but came up just a little short and settled for second behind Yoshida.

Beach Patrol is out of the unplaced Quiet American mare Bashful Bertie, a full-sister (same dam [mother], same sire [father]) to Grade 1-placed graded stakes winner Allamerican Bertie and a half-sister (same dam, different sire) to multiple graded stakes winner Hurricane Bertie.
