Nyquist always has something in reserve: jockey (Reuters)
(Reuters) – Nyquist had something in reserve on his way to claiming the Kentucky Derby, jockey Mario Gutierrez said after riding the colt to victory at Churchill Downs on Saturday. Nyquist, named after the Detroit Red Wings’ Swedish ice hockey player Gustav Nyquist, built a big lead halfway down the home straight, but gave his backers some nervous moments when the fast-finishing Exaggerator closed in over the final furlong.
