for a story from Jonathan Murrietta on Summerhill Farm), | Nyquist made the first of three trips through a sales pavilion at the 2013 Keeneland November Sale, where he was knocked down for $180,000, the sixth most expensive of 26 first-crop weanlings to sell that year. He found himself back at Keeneland 10 months later, where he was hammered down for $230,000 at the 2014 September sale (10th priciest of 95 to sell) and was ticketed for the 2015 Fasig-Tipton Florida March Sale. The March foal, produced by a half-sister to the dam of GI Metropolitan H. hero Sahara Sky (Pleasant Tap), touted himself at the under-tack show, breezing an eighth of a mile in :10 2/5, and was scooped up by Dennis O=Neill for $400,000 (4/41).

Kentucky Derby 142 cont. The handsome bay made light work of the 2-year-old series at Del Mar, besting Swipe (Birdstone) by 5 1/4 lengths in the GII Best Pal S. Aug. 8 and by 3 3/4 lengths in the GI Del Mar Futurity before stretching out to two turns. His 3/4-length defeat of Swipe in the Sept. 26 GI FrontRunner S. was more workmanlike than spectacular and the naysayers began to come out in force. That group=s collective skepticism was only enhanced when Nyquist drew 12 in the field of 14 in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Oct. 31 and those who believed got 9-2 that Halloween afternoon at Keeneland. Trapped out the entire way and reserved in midfield off a wicked pace, Coady photography he was forced to cover ground on the turn, but nevertheless fought on and beat Swipe by a half-length, with the late-running Brody=s Cause (Giant=s Causeway) third. A perfect season, an and a future home at Darley already secured, Nyquist was programmed for a two-race preparation leading up to the Run for the Roses and got his 2016 season off on the right foot with a pace-pressing defeat of Exaggerator in the seven-furlong GII San Vicente S. Feb. 15. With a potential $1-million bonus on the line in the Florida Derby, Nyquist was the 6-5 second choice in a clash of the titans with then-unbeaten Mohaymen (Tapit). For a few strides with three furlongs to race over a rain-affected strip, it appeared as if the match race could develop. But Mario Gutierrez floated his gray rival wide into the lane, kicked away and proved an easy winner as Majesto (Tiznow) closed for second. Cont. p5

Say >Uncle=... Off in a flash once Danzing Candy (Twirling Candy) was loaded into stall 20, Nyquist broke well and was kept in about the four path, as Gun Runner made best use of his low draw in five to lead narrowly through the opening exchanges. Outwork (Uncle Mo), one of three in the race for his sire, was also prominent , while Danzing Candy, off just a touch slowly, mustered in the center of the track beneath Mike Smith to lead under the line with a circuit to travel. The pace that most analysts anticipated would be moderate at best, was sharp indeed, as the opening quarter-mile was posted in :22.58. As he did in the Santa Anita Derby, Danzing Candy set a fierce gallop, and Gutierrez made the ultimately crucial decision to allow the Halo Farms runner to clear, at which point Nyquist was guided away from the inside and pulled to the outside and into the clear for a stalking trip around the clubhouse turn. With the field strung out over the better part of 20 lengths, Danzing Candy took them along about three lengths clear of Nyquist and Gun Runner through an opening half-mile in a testing :45.72 and positions remained largely unchanged for the next couple of furlongs, though had guided Gun Runner into the two path while Nyquist had edged up ever closer from third. The Winchell runner, last-out winner of the GII Louisiana Derby, was the first to make a serious move, as he collared and passed Danzing Candy leaving the three-eighths pole, but Nyquist was right at his saddle towel as Outwork began showing signs of solid late finish for fifth, just behind Mohaymen.

Kentucky Derby 142 cont. Gutierrez continued, AWe got a beautiful trip, you know, from the start to the end. It's the only race we have, like, 19 other horses trying to get to the wire first. But, like I say, I get the confidence from Nyquist. I was able to work him since he got to the track, so I know him a lot, and I trust him.

Say What?... AI didn=t think Exaggerator hit the brakes as much as Kent alluded to. He burst out of the turn, I thought we had time to catch Nyquist.

I didn=t see where Nyquist was during the race until after it was over and he was there right there on the pace. What a horse. I can=t respect that horse enough.@ --Keith Desormeaux, trainer of Exaggerator

AIt was too much ground to make up by then, he didn=t get away great and he (Junior Alvarado) said that he spun his wheels too early, but he had a pretty good trip and saved ground around the first turn. He came out and put in a good run, congratulations to Nyquist, he=s still undefeated. He=s a star. I don=t know about the Triple Crown, but we=ll have a great year.

AVery proud to be one of the runners. I am very impressed with the atmosphere. He chased from behind and the ground is too fast so it=s not a suitable ground for him, but he did a good run. For Lani and for myself, it=s a big experience for us.@ --Mikio Matsunaga, trainer of Lani (9th)

Taris added to the considerable Derby weekend success for >TDN Rising Stars= at Churchill Downs, dispatching a quality field for a maiden Grade I success in the Humana Distaff S. A $90,000 Keeneland September yearling acquisition, Taris was a winner of four of her five starts while trained by Todd Beattie for Commonwealth New Era Racing, earning her Rising Star with an 11 3/4-length maiden score at first asking in December 2013 and capped that stretch with a nine-length tour- de-force in Keeneland=s GII Raven Run S. the following October. Purchased by the Coolmore team for $2.35 million at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton November sale a few weeks later, she set blazing fractions in the GI La Brea S. but was run down late and subsequently hit the shelf. Brought back slowly by Simon Callaghan, Taris was a more relaxed sort last year at four, sitting off the pace instead of making it, to post wins in the GIII Rancho Bernardo H. in August before excuse-filled thirds in the GIII L A Woman S. and again in behind Wavell Avenue (Harlington) in the GI Breeders= Cup F/M Sprint.

Taris bid three wide at the head of the stretch, called upon her superior stamina to outkick Stonetastic into the final furlong and a half and shot clear for an impressive victory. AThere=s a little bit of pressure with such a high purchase price, but she deserved it and she deserved it before this,@ Callaghan explained. AWe couldn=t be happier. It was a perfect trip.

Responding to ’s urgings to gain a slight edge over Architecture, she gave extra when the crunch came and maintained the upper hand as they drew clear of Mountain Bell in the final yards. “She raced pretty greenly the whole way around and she was not comfortable on the ground or the track, so did well to win,” her rider said. “She will have learnt plenty and she’s a good filly.
