Nyquist’s Tenma Up in Time in Del Mar Debutante

[Wandering Eyes]

Tenma (f, 2, Nyquist–Amagansett, by Tapit) sat the trip and delivered at odds of 3-1 for Hall of Famer Bob Baffert in Saturday's GI Fanduel Racing Del Mar Debutante Stakes.

Fifth early as they sped up front, Tenma hit the gas on the far turn and needed the length of the stretch to reel in Vodka With a Twist (Thousand Words) by a head. So There She Was (Munnings) was third.

Tenma's heavily favored stablemate 'TDN Rising Star' Nooni (Win Win Win), unbeaten in two previous career starts, set a pressured pace and tired badly after checking in some traffic on the far turn. The result stood following a stewards' inquiry — not involving the winner — looking into the run around the far turn.

Tenma becomes the seventh Grade I winner for Nyquist.

The final time for seven furlongs 1:23.67.

Sales history: $200,000 yrl '23 KEESEP; $850,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR.

Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0.
