He won 18 of his 23 starts with a fastest race mile of 1:50 and earnings of $2,091,860. BackgroundAs a yearling, Beach Towel was bought for $22,000 by Seth Rosenfeld, the 24-year-old managing partner of the New York City-based Uptown Stables.[1] The colt was trained and driven by Ray Remmen. Racing careerIn 1989, Beach Towel won eleven of his thirteen races including the Presidential Stake, Matron Stake, and Potomac Stake and earned more than $478,000. In July 1990, he contested the Meadowlands Pace at Meadowlands Racetrack and overcame an unfavorable draw to win by a nose from Jake And Elwood.[2] On September 9, he lost to Jake And Elwood (who had won the Cane Pace) in the Messenger Stakes at Rosecroft Raceway. Beach Towel started favorite for Little Brown Jug on September 20. Driven as usual by Remmen, he led from the start and won by one and a half lengths from In The Pocket in a time of 1:53.3.[3] In November, the colt contested the three-year-old pacer division of the Breeders Crown at the five-eighths of a mile track at Pompano Beach. He won by three lengths from In The Pocket in a time of 1:51.2, becoming the first harness racer to win more than $2 million in a single year.[1] He also won the Delvin Miller Adios and many other races.[4] Stud recordBeach Towel was also a successful sire. Amongst his offspring was Jenna's Beach Boy who once held the record for the fastest race mile of all-time in harness racing history. Another of his offspring was Somebeachsomewhere, the 2008 Harness Horse of the Year.[4] In 2007, Beach Towel went into retirement at the Woodlands Stud in New Zealand. He died on March 21, 2009 following a severe attack of colic.[4] Pedigree{{Pedigree|name = Beach Towel (USA), bay stallion, 1987[5] |inf = |f = French Chef (USA) 1978 |m = Sunburn (USA) 1977 |ff = Meadow Skipper (USA) 1960 |fm = La Pomme Souffle (USA) 1972 |mf = Armbro Nesbit (USA) 1970 |mm = Sunbelle Hanover (USA) 1966 |fff = Dale Frost |ffm = Countess Vivian |fmf = Nevele Pride |fmm = Pompanette |mff = Bye Bye Byrd |mfm = Armbro Impel |mmf = Tar Heel |mmm = Suave Hanover |ffff = Hal Dale |fffm = Galloway |ffmf = King's Counsel |ffmm = Filly Direct |fmff = Stars Pride |fmfm = Thankful |fmmf = Florican |fmmm = Spinster Hanover |mfff = Poplar Byrd |mffm = Evalina Hanover |mfmf = Capetown |mfmm = Dotties Pick |mmff = Billy Direct |mmfm = Leta Long |mmmf = Adios |mmmm = Shy Ann }} References1. ^1 [https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2519&dat=19901103&id=E61dAAAAIBAJ&sjid=c10NAAAAIBAJ&pg=1936,785009 Beach Towel winner in Breeders Crown], Observer-Reporter, November 3 1990 2. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2519&dat=19900714&id=4qxdAAAAIBAJ&sjid=jV0NAAAAIBAJ&pg=4662,2176675 Beach Towel, in photo finish, captures Meadowlands Pace] Observer-Reporter, July 14 1990 3. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1356&dat=19900921&id=740xAAAAIBAJ&sjid=TwcEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6344,113857 Beach Towel wins Little Brown Jug], Ocala Star-Banner, September 21 1990 4. ^1 2 Mighty stallion Beach Towel dies 5. ^http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/beach+towel2 Beach Towel's pedigree 5 : 1987 racehorse births|2009 racehorse deaths|American Standardbred racehorses|American Champion harness horses|Little Brown Jug winners |
