Slow Down Andy (Nyquist), front-running winner of Saturday's GI Awesome Again S. at Santa Anita, will miss the GI Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 4, according to a report in Daily Racing Form. Although he was sound following the Awesome Again, the 4-year-old came out of the race with some filling in his ankle and will get 60 days off.
The Awesome Again was Slow Down Andy's first Grade I win and earned him a paid berth into the Classic as it was a “Win and You're In” race. He got a 101 Beyer Speed Figure for the effort.
Trainer Doug O'Neill conditions Slow Down Andy for Reddam Racing, LLC. The team plans to bring the chestnut back for a 5-year-old campaign.
