Born Runner Classic
BEACH BUM EDDIE
by Michael Compton
Beach Bum Eddie was anything but lazy when he scored the first stakes win of his career, emerging victorious in the $82,269 Born Runner Classic at
Indiana Grand on May 24.
Ridden by Daniel Luz Martinez, Beach Bum
Eddie brushed at the start but grabbed the early advantage in the 400-yard dash. The bay gelding maintained a clear lead through the lane to score by a neck. Beach Bum Eddie covered the distance in :20.071, earning a speed index of 86 for owner/ trainer Anthony Cunningham.
Beach Bum Eddie is now a winner on 8 of 25 career starts, and the $45,705 winner’s share of this purse increased his lifetime bankroll to $202,949.
“I bought him as a yearling from Mick Beyer,” said Cunningham. “He has always raced well and finished second to a lot of the horses that were in this race tonight. He just couldn’t finish. He was good for about the first 385 yards but couldn’t finish in his last 15 and would get caught. Tonight, Daniel did a good job to get him home for the win.”
Bred in Indiana by William Beyer, Beach Bum Eddie is out of stakes-placed Carman Copy. She has produced 100% money earners from 10 starters. Beach Bum Eddie is her first stakes winner.
Runner-up Beach Cartel (Escondido Beach- Flashin Dee Dee) just missed under Berkley Packer for owner Sheri Miller and trainer Randy Smith.
