Analysis: After a minor issue with a small fever right after the Florida Drerby, Nyqusit now looks to be doing well and working out consistently in Kentucky. His resume is obviously better than anything he’ll be facing in the Kentucky Derby, and he will have a tactical advantage over many of his main challengers. Clearly deserves to be the number one ranked horse.
