“With a horse like Nyquist, I’m not overly concerned about the weather,” trainer Doug O’Neill said on a bright, sunny Friday morning. “As far as rain or shine, we’re not going to change anything shoeing-wise He’s going to wear the same shoes he’s got on. We’d just love to have a beautiful day.”
Nyquist was coming in at -151 odds Saturday morning. Considering he’s undefeated, this is a favorable price requiring a bet of just $15 to win $10 (with the $15 refunded assuming he’s victorious).
Rain had fallen during the morning hours with a lull anticipated until around 4 pm EST with more steady showers by race time. Both Exaggerator (3-1 odds) and Cherry Wine (20-1 odds) are expected to thrive in such conditions.
