Darley in America has announced that Reddam Racing’s Nyquist (Uncle Mo),
winner of the 2015 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1), will stand at its Jonabell Farm
in Lexington, Kentucky, once his racing career is completed.

The Juvenile was the third career Grade 1 victory for Nyquist, who previously
won both the Del Mar Futurity (G1) and the FrontRunner S. (G1). Undefeated in
five career starts, Nyquist also lists the Best Pal (G2) among his five
victories and has now earned $1,613,600.

J. Paul Reddam, who along with wife Zillah also campaigned Kentucky Derby
winner I’ll Have Another and other Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Wilko,
commented on the deal.

“Doug O’Neill and his team have done a tremendous job in getting Nyquist to
this point and we are eagerly looking forward to his three-year-old season next
year,” Reddam said.

“I’m equally impressed by Darley and its stallion program. They do an
incredible job of overseeing the long careers of their sires and I am grateful
that Nyquist’s next job will be managed by another incredible team.”

Dan Pride, COO of Darley in America, commented, “We couldn’t be any more
excited about having Nyquist join our stallion roster when he retires. His
performance on Saturday was absolutely thrilling and we are thankful to Paul and
Zillah Reddam for allowing us to take over the reins when Nyquist begins his new
career.”

Nyquist is a son of leading juvenile sire and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner
Uncle Mo and is out of the winning Forestry mare Seeking Gabrielle. His second
dam Seeking Regina, who is a full sister to listed winner Oxford Scholar, won
the Adirondack S. (G2). Seeking Regina’s daughter Seeking the Sky won the
Interborough H. (G3) and has produced two stakes winners, including Metropolitan
H. (G1) winner Sahara Sky.

Nyquist will continue to race in the colors of Reddam Racing and will remain
in training with O’Neill.
