Nyquist Filly Beats the Boys in Fasig-Tipton Futurity

Absolutely Zero ran to public's confidence, defeating the boys in Saturday's $100,000 Fasig-Tipton Futurity S. at Santa Anita.

The Reddam homebred raced under pressure from the get-go and held a narrow advantage as four of them lined up approaching the top of the stretch. She clearly had something left as they straightened for home and dug down gamely in the stretch to defeat stablemate Tahoma, the first winner for Triple Crown winner Justify, by a measured length. First-time starter Pure Fire, a $315,000 OBSMAR breezer, ran well to finish third.

“She's not the fastest horse out of the gate so today, she broke really well,” winning rider Mario Gutierrez said. “She broke with them, and I tried to maintain my position and find my way to keep her in there, she responded really well.

“She's very gutsy. She definitely is a fighter and showed big improvement. She can only get better. The fact that she's running with the boys, you know that's what is impressive about her right now, she's a really cool girl so I'm happy with her.”

Absolutely Zero delivered a professional victory as the heavy favorite while facing fillies on debut going 4 1/2 furlongs at Santa Anita May 21.

The winner's dam How About Zero, a two-time stakes winner for Reddam and trainer Doug O'Neill, produced fillies by Pavel in 2021 and 2022.

Going Global Favored in Gamely

Going Global (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) will put her perfect five-for-five record over the Santa Anita lawn to the test as the 8-5 morning-line favorite in the GI Gamely S. at Santa Anita Monday. The 4-year-old was first or second in seven of eight starts last term, with her lone off-the-board finish coming in the off-turf GI American Oaks in December. Her 2021 campaign included wins in the GI Del Mar Oaks–at the Gamely's nine-furlong distance–and in the GII Goldikova S. She opened 2022 with a win in the one-mile GII Royal Heroine S. in Arcadia Apr. 9.

Reddam Racing's Eddie's New Dream (Square Eddie), a winner over nine furlongs of the Santa Anita turf in an optional claimer last November, won the Mar. 19 Irish O'Brien S. down the hill against fellow Cal-breds before a rallying runner-up effort behind the reopposing Canoodling (Pioneerof the Nile) in the one-mile GIII Wilshire S. May 1.

“On paper, she definitely fits in there,” said trainer Ben Cecil. “I think the extra furlong is probably good for her. She runs hard and gives her all every time. I know she'll run well. It will just be a question of if she's up to it.”

In addition to her front-running score in the Wilshire, B-4 Farms' Canoodling also captured the one-mile Jan. 29 GIII Megahertz S. at Santa Anita. She will be trying to stretch out to nine furlongs for the first time in her career Monday.

Slow Down Andy to Beat in Sunland Derby

Reddam Racing's Slow Down Andy (Nyquist), unable to make a dent in the GII Risen Star S. last out, will look to bounce back as the favorite in Sunday's GIII Sunland Derby at Sunland Prak.

Graduating impressively by 4 3/4 lengths against fellow California-breds on debut Oct. 9 at Santa Anita, the homebred finished a hard-fought second in the state-bred Golden State Juvenile S. on the Breeders' Cup undercard Nov. 5 at Del Mar before stepping into open company for the first time and upsetting next-out 15-length GIII Robert B. Lewis S. winner Messier (Empire Maker) in the GII Los Alamitos Futurity Dec. 11. Drawn wide in the Feb. 19 Risen Star, the chestnut tracked the pace but had little in the stretch, fading to sixth, beaten 10 lengths. The Doug O'Neill trainee adds blinkers for this test and drilled a six-furlong bullet in 1:12 2/5 (1/5) from the gate Mar. 19 at Santa Anita.

Slow Down Andy will have to hold off the returning one-two-three finishers from the local Feb. 27 Mine That Bird Derby prep race. Jungle Racing's Straight Up G (Straight Fire) opened up a clear lead that day before holding on late for a 3/4-length victory, and the speedster is a neck away from being undefeated in his last four starts, also having captured the state-bred King Glorious S. Dec. 12 at Los Alamitos. B4 Farms' Bye Bye Bobby (Quality Road), and $870,000 Keeneland September purchase, captured the Zia Park Juvenile S. in his career bow Nov. 23 and, after running last in the Remington Springboard Mile S., finished a narrow second in both the Riley Allison Derby and Mine That Bird Derby over this track. Classic Moment (Classic Empire) rounded out the trifecta in the Mine That Bird Derby after suffering a wide trip, and the Steve Asmussen trainee is drawn better this time in the two-hole.
