First Crop Nyquist Colt Sells for $330,000

Hip 333, a colt from the first crop of Champion Nyquist, sold for $330,000 during The July Sale. The dark bay or brown colt was purchased by Ben McElroy, agent for Corinthian Medical/Wilson Sisk from the consignment of Stuart Morris, agent for Highclere & Partners.

By Champion juvenile Nyquist, winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) and Kentucky Derby (G1), this colt is a half-brother to three winners out of the Storm Creek mare Murky Waters. Among that mare's winners is stakes winner Red Vine, a multiple Grade 1 placed earner of $775,915. Murky Waters is out of stakes winner Fort Pond, making her a half-sister to multiple Graded Stakes winning millionaire Fort Prado and to stakes winner and 14-time winner Cammack.

Hip 333 was bred in Kentucky.
