Horse racing: Nyquist trainer salutes Exaggerator (Reuters)
(Reuters) – Trainer Doug O’Neill saw Nyquist as invincible, but after a third-place run on a sloppy Preakness track on Saturday, he tipped his cap to winner Exaggerator and voiced love for his Kentucky Derby champion colt. “It’s a bummer, of course,” said O’Neill, whose Nyquist entered the 1-3/16 mile race at Pimlico with an 8-0 career mark. O’Neill said he would talk to jockey Mario Gutierrez and watch video replays before offering an analysis of the race.
