Nyquist will stand the 2025 season at Jonabell Farm for $175,000, Darley announced Sunday. The son of Uncle Mo, who stood last year for $85,000, sired his second GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Saturday when Immersive capped an undefeated four-for-four season.
“When you speak of the best stallions right now in North America, Nyquist has to be in that conversation,” said Darley America Sales Manager Darren Fox. “His progeny reflect amazing versatility: short, long, dirt and turf. It really doesn't matter the surface or distance. His best books are his most recent books so all indicators point to continued success in the future.”
Nyquist's four Grade I winners in 2024 puts him among North America's elite stallions, with only Into Mischief having more. In addition to Immersive, Nyquist is also the sire of GI Shoemaker Mile winner and GI Breeders' Cup Mile runner-up Johannes plus GI Ogden Phipps winner Randomized and GI Del Mar Debutante winner Tenma. Additional top runners in 2024 include unbeaten 'TDN Rising Star' and MGSW Nysos, GIII Lexington Stakes winner Encino and two-time stakes-winning juvenile Studlydoright who took Saturday's Nashua Stakes at Aqueduct.
Nyquist is also coming off a very strong yearling sales season, with Keeneland September yearlings bringing $1.3m, $1.2m, and $1.15m.
His 2025 fee ranks him behind only Gun Runner ($250,000), Into Mischief ($250,000), Curlin ($225,000), Tapit ($185,000) and tied with Not This Time ($175,000).
