The only Triple Crown nominee in a scratched down field of four, Klaravich Stables' Growth Equity (Nyquist) was second by a length when well-backed on Saratoga debut July 19 and most recently returned to round out the exacta in a local seven-furlong heat that also featured next-out maiden winners Unsearchable (Not This Time) and the highly impressive Ezum (Essential Quality).Pounded at the tills to the tune of a dime on the dollar, the $425,000 Keeneland September purchase was content to track the pace outside of longshot Swiss Army Knife (Practical Joke) through fractions of :23.75 and :46.49. Allowed to stride into the front passing the three-eighths, the Klaravich runner braced for a challenge from 10-1 Fightforallegiance (Violence), but turned back that bid and scampered clear to score decisively.Growth Equity is one of three winners out of a half-sister to SW & GSP Selva (Forest Wildcat), the dam of MSW & MGSP Vanzzy (Verrazano) and GSP Coltandmississippi (Pioneerof the Nile). My Dear Venezuela is also responsible for the 2-year-old colt San Fernando (Candy Ride {Arg}), a yearling filly by Twirling Candy and is due to Arabian Knight this season.1st-Aqueduct, $74,400, Msw, 3-20, 3yo, 1m, 1:36.71, ft, 4 1/4 lengths.GROWTH EQUITY (c, 3, Nyquist–My Dear Venezuela {GSP, $141,897}, by Wildcat Heir) Sales history: $425,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP.
