After spiking a temperature yesterday that delayed his shipment from Pimlico to Belmont, it turns out there was indeed something brewing for Nyquist. The fever will keep him out of the Belmont. So we won't be seeing a rematch between him and Exaggerator... for possibly right now.
With a stud deal already in place though with Darley, it would not be surprising if we have seen the last of the Derby winner. I'm hopeful that I'm wrong and he'll try to take on the likes of Beholder and California Chrome in the Pacific Classic (which the latter is pointing to, and the former if she can stay healthy herself will try to defend).
I'll have Belmont posts coming in the next few days.
