On May 9, he made his British debut in the Victor Wild Stakes over one and a half miles at Kempton Park Racecourse, where he was ridden by his new jockey, Pat Beasley. Racing on turf and on a right-handed track for the first time, Omaha accelerated past his opponents half a mile from the finish and won "impressively" by one and a half lengths from Montrose. Four weeks later, he returned to the same course for the Queen's Plate over two miles. He took the lead in the straight and won from Lord Derby's colt Bobsleigh in what was described as a "thrilling" finish.
