Unbeaten Nyquist triumphs in Kentucky Derby
Print Edition
NYQUIST amply lived up to his favorite’s billing, winning the 142nd Kentucky Derby to become the eighth unbeaten horse to capture the first jewel of US racing’s Triple Crown.
Trained by Doug O’Neill and ridden by Mario Gutierrez, Nyquist went off a 2-1 favorite at Churchill Downs in Louisville, and posted his eighth victory in as many starts on Saturday. The last undefeated Kentucky Derby winner was Seattle Slew in 1977. In a crowded field of 20, Nyquist broke well out of the 13th gate and settled in as Danzing Candy took the lead.
Gun Runner moved to the front at the far turn, but Nyquist surged past as they entered the finishing straight and beat Exaggerator by 1 1/4-lengths.
Gun Runner was third, another 3 1/4 lengths back.
“He’s just such a special horse,” O’Neill said of Nyquist. “You see it in his eye on a daily basis. He’s just first class.”
It was a second Kentucky Derby victory for O’Neill, Gutierrez and Canadian owner Paul Reddam.
