NYQUIST, BEHOLDER STRUT THEIR STUFF

          Santa Anita’s “Winter Meet of Champions” showcased a pair of them Friday when Nyquist and Beholder worked towards future engagements, undefeated male two-year-old champion of 2015 Nyquist for the Florida Derby on April 2 and three-time Eclipse Award winner Beholder for the Grade I Vanity Stakes on June 4.

Nyquist and Beholder join undefeated two-year-old female champion of 2015 Songbird and 2014 Horse of the Year California Chrome as titlists who are scheduled to race or have already started at the Winter Meet.

Nyquist went five furlongs on Santa Anita’s work tab in 1:01.40 under exercise rider Johnny Garcia.

Trainer Doug O’Neill had a one-mile clocking for Nyquist.

“I got him in 1:46 and change and the last eighth in 11 and three,” said O’Neill, who ships the bay son of Uncle Mo owned by Paul and Zillah Reddam to Florida for a highly anticipated throw-down with the unbeaten Kiaran McLaughlin-trained Mohaymen on March 28.

“This is the first time I’ve been on her (to work this year),” said Beholder’s regular rider Gary Stevens, who was up for a four furlong drill in 48:40, breezing, after the 7:45 a.m. renovation...

Turfway Park – Friday, March 18th

Please note that, because of possible late changes, numbers shown here may NOT correspond with program numbers. When wagering, always use the horse’s number listed in your official track program.

Race 1

TAMIAMI TRAIL comes in off of two second place finishes over the track and is the choice to pick up the win here. BUMBLE BIZZ showed a great deal of improvement winning in her first start over the track. UNFAITHFUL had to need her last after having been off for nearly a year and should move forward off of that one.

Race 2

TRICE UP has been in good form recently, with two wins and a second place finish in his last four starts at Turfway. He figures to be on or near the lead tonight, give him a slight edge here with Ouzts picking up the mount. MAGNETIC START has won two of his last here and looks like the one to beat. NIGHT LEAGUE moves back down to the level where he crossed the wire first in two in a row earlier this meet.

Race 3

HUNDREDS ran a nice second on the drop in class last time out, give him a slight edge against a wide-open maiden field. RUMLAD is a first time starter for Wesley Ward who has been training steadily here at Turfway leading up to tonight. HUGHHOOFNER likes to run second, but has the ability to win here.

Race 4

CAUSE I’M ALEX has looked sharp winning each of his last two starts over the track and will be tough to beat again tonight. BOOMER SIX was second behind the top pick two starts back and...
