Amora Beach Looks To Continue Roll

Amora Beach, a winner of his last nine races, will try to push his streak to double digits on Monday night (Feb. 11), at Northfield Park.

The seven-year-old gelded son of Somebeachsomewhere is the 5-2 second choice on the morning line and will start from Post 3 in Race 13, which is a $13,000 Open 2 Pace.

Amora Beach started his winning ways against the $6,000 claiming ranks on December 9. He has been claimed seven times in his last 10 starts and has had seven different trainers during that stretch.

Current owners L’Emmur Stable, LLC of Hudson, OH and James Ryan of Warren, OH plucked him out of a $10,000 claimer when he tallied his seventh straight victory on January 21. Keith Kash, Jr. has trained and driven the streaking pacer to triumphs in the $15,000 and $20,000 claiming ranks in the past two weeks to make it nine in a row in Ohio. He will race in the Open ranks for the first time in his career on Monday night.

Amora Beach did race in major stakes company as a two-year-old – he finished fourth in his elimination and eighth in the $613,640 Metro Final to Artspeak at Mohawk in 2014. He also finished third in a Pennsylvania Sire Stakes leg at Pocono in 2015.

Northfield’s 13th race on Monday will feature a $35,000 guaranteed pool that will include a carryover of $11,805 in the 20-cent Super High Five. There are also a pair of $10,000 Guaranteed Pick 4’s, beginning in Races 7 and 11. All of the aforementioned guaranteed wagers are offered at a low 14 per cent takeout. First-race post time for the 15-race card will be at 6:00 (Eastern).
