Spendthrift Farm and Repole Stable's Accelerize (c, 3, Omaha Beach–Motion Emotion, by Take Charge Indy) romped by daylight at first asking for 'TDN Rising Star' honors on Saturday's Tampa Bay Derby undercard.
Off at odds of 7-2, the $400,000 KEESEP yearling hit the ground running beneath Irad Ortiz, Jr. and cleared the field from his wide draw in post 12. He showed the way through fractions of :21.87 and :45.03 and blasted off at the top of the stretch to win going away by 7 3/4 lengths over favored Moment's Notice (More Than Ready). The final time for seven furlongs was a very sharp 1:21.20.
With Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher currently serving a seven-day suspension imposed by the Horseracing Integrity and Welfare Unit after a horse from his barn tested positive for betamethasone, Accelerize's trainer of record is listed as his longtime assistant, Anthony Sciametta, Jr.
The Spendthrift Farm-bred Accelerize becomes the third 'Rising Star' for Omaha Beach. He is the first foal from the stakes-winning and three-time graded placed Motion Emotion. She is also responsible for a Yaupon filly of 2023 and a Cyberknife colt of 2024. She was bred back to Into Mischief for 2025. Spendthrift Farm purchased Motion Emotion for $800,000 at the 2020 FTKNOV sale. This is the extended female family of GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf heroine Shared Account (Pleasantly Perfect) and her daughter, GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Sharing (Speightstown).
