TIMONIUM, MD – As Taj Mahal (Nyquist) goes postward in the GI Preakness Stakes at Laurel Saturday, his 2-year-old full-sister (hip 402) will be about an hour northwards showing to prospective buyers ahead of the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May sale in Timonium. While the filly is in line for a major update should her brother win the second leg of the Triple Crown, she can more than hold her own, according Top Line Sales' Jimbo Gladwell, who consigns her on behalf of breeder Vegso Racing Stable.“She's a typical Nyquist,” Gladwell said of the juvenile. “The sire is killing it now. She's got a big old hip, good way of training. She seems like she has a lot of class to her.”Peter Vegso bred and campaigned the siblings' dam, Oola Gal (Quality Road), and campaigned that mare's dam, Geisha Gal (Agnes Tachyon {Jpn}) after purchasing her as a weanling for $180,000 at the 2009 Keeneland November sale.Taj Mahal sold to the SF Bloodstock and Starlight Racing partnership for $525,000 at the 2024 Keeneland September sale. His full-sister RNA'd for $375,000 at that same auction last fall.“The breeder still owns her, so they've been training her,” Gladwell said of the 2-year-old. “Arturo Rodriguez manages the training center and he's done a great job with her. She came in and has done everything right so far. We couldn't be any happier with her.”Gladwell was also happy with how the filly performed on the track during the under-tack show Wednesday (video).“She scotched a little bit from the cones, but once she got lined out, she looked like she was moving really well and within herself,” Gladwell said. “She went out good and came back and you wouldn't even know she had a work. It didn't take anything out of her and she's feeling great.”Taj Mahal is unbeaten in three lifetime starts–all at Laurel–including two stakes victories. He will be making his graded debut in the Preakness.“I have not seen him, but we will for sure be rooting for him on Saturday,” Gladwell said.Asked what a Classic win would mean for his younger sister, who is scheduled to go through the sales ring in Timonium Tuesday, Gladwell said, “To be honest with you, I have no idea. There is so much hype around her already, if you could add a big win like that, I would say it would just open a door to bring any kind of money.”The Midlantic May sale will be held next Monday and Tuesday with bidding beginning at 11 a.m. both days.The post Taj Mahal Could Give Nyquist Filly a Big Update appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
