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.
