Nyquist resumes light training
Barbara D. Livingston At 9-1, Nyquist was the lowest price of the individual horses in Pool 1 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager.
Nyquist, the undefeated winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Keeneland on Oct. 31, resumed galloping earlier this week and will have a workout before the end of the month.
Trainer Doug O’Neill said Nyquist is likely to have a light workout “down the stretch” at Santa Anita in the days before Christmas. Owned by Paul and Zillah Reddam, Nyquist was given a break in November after the BC Juvenile and resumed training earlier this month.
O’Neill said race plans for early 2016 have not been finalized, but that the $200,000 San Vicente Stakes at seven furlongs on Feb. 15 is a possible starting point.
