Racing career
2007: Two-year-old season
Cocoa Beach first raced in Chile as a two-year-old, trained by Sergio Inda in all but her last race and owned by Los Tilos. Her first race was an ungraded stakes race at Club Hípico de Santiago, which she won by four and a half lengths. She followed this up with three consecutive G3 wins at Hipódromo Chile, running as the favorite in every race and winning the last two by 9 and 9 lengths respectively. These earned her the distinction of the 'Trébol de Plata', awarded to horses that win three consecutive races at Hipódromo Chile within one year. Cocoa Beach was named the 2007 Chilean Champion Two-Year-Old Filly.
