Nyquist's Tenma Wins Pitched Battle On Debut At Del Mar

Tenma | Benoit

At sunny Del Mar, it was first-time starter Tenma (Nyquist–Amagansett, by Tapit) who battled a rival filly down the lane to graduate.

The OBS April grad who was featured in TDN's Summer Breezes and Sunday Insights, went off as a 6-1 shot here. Even though stablemate Usha (Tiz the Law) came busting out of the gate, Tenma did not panic as she steadily began to reel in the pacesetter around the far turn. With a full head of steam, the juvenile won by a head in what was a pitched battle with Mancuso (McKinzie). The final running time was 1:04.22.

Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. Sales History: $200,000 '23 KEESEP; $850,000 '24 OBSAPR.
