Nyquist is the winner of the 2015 Breeders' Cup Juvenile as well as the 2015 Eclipse Award for Champion Two-Year Olds.  He recently won the Florida Derby.

Nyquist hopes to follow in the footsteps of American Pharoah, who won the Triple Crown last year, the first horse to do so in over 40 years. 

“I don’t know much about the rest of them, but I know a lot about Nyquist,” said trainer Doug O’Neill, who won the Derby and Preakness in 2012 with I’ll Have Another. “That gives me the optimism that we’re leading the best horse over. Prior to Pharoah doing it, some people thought winning the Triple Crown was impossible. Now, people are coming up to me saying, ‘Do what Pharoah did.’ It’s not that easy.”
