The Nyquist illness that has seen him withdraw from the Belmont Stakes is a mystery to the public. Ownership of the Kentucky Derby winner did not go into the exact nature of the ailment that will keep him out of the last leg of the Triple Crown. Good afternoon APEX Horse Betting fans. We will provide as much information that is out there about Nyquist and what this will mean for the Belmont that is coming up quickly on June 11th.
Nyquist Illness and Horse Health
Bloodwork cam back with an elevated white blood cell count. This combined with a fever would tax the horse greatly in the short turnaround time since his lone defeat. In fact, did one know that two horses died at Pimlico when the Preakness was ran? Ownership did not prolong the decision making progress or take the risk of taking the horse on the road to New York. It is the right thing to do for our industry. No one wants to risk a winner of the Kentucky Derby like that. Applause for this correct choice.
Back Up Plan is Sportsbook Bonuses
