Pricey yearling Mohayem favored in Nashua

Racing returns to Aqueduct Wednesday, with the $200,000 Nashua (G2) and $200,000
Tempted (G3), for two-year-olds and two-year-old fillies, respectively,
highlighting the nine-race program.

The early favorite in the one-mile Nashua is Mohaymen (Tapit), a
Shadwell-owned gray who won on debut at Belmont Park September 19. The $2.2
million yearling buy is trained by Kiaran McLaughlin.
