Nevada Beach

Nevada Beach began his career as a 3-year-old when he debuted with a win at first asking in a Santa Anita one-mile maiden race on April 19, 2025. He immediately went right up against stakes company in his second start and finished second behind stable-mate Gaming in the $98,000 Affirmed Stakes going 1 1/16 miles at Santa Anita on June 8.

Nevada Beach scored his first stakes win in just his third lifetime start when he won the Grade 3 $100,000 Los Alamitos Derby going 1 1/8 miles atop a four-horse field on June 28.

Nevada Beach's next outing game against Grade 1 competition versus older horses in the $300,000 Goodwood Stakes going 1 1/8 miles at Santa Anita on Sept. 27. Nevada Beach was sent off at odds of 8.50-1 in a six-horse field but nevertheless proved to be up to the task and scored the upset with a 1 1/2-length victory over favored Full Serrano. Nevada Beach established a comfortable stalking position during the running of the race, challenged in earnest turning for home, and was able to draw off late under jockey Mike Smith in a time of 1:48.43. The Goodwood Stakes was a Breeders' Cup Challenge Series "Win and You're In" qualifying race for the Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 1 at Del Mar, and with his win, Nevada Beach secured a fees-paid ticket to the Breeders' Cup.

Nevada Beach is trained by Bob Baffert. He was bred in Kentucky by the sire Omaha Beach out of the mare Morrow Cove by Yes It's True.
