“Prat said once he got behind the gate, he just turned it on.” “He’s a really quiet colt,” Baffert said. He walked through the paddock on Sunday, head hung low, no big deal, as in what’s all the fuss? In the paddock before the race, it was hard to imagine that Nysos was a 2-year-old who won his debut by more than 10 lengths in front-running fashion with a sky-high 96 Beyer. Nysos demolished the seven-furlong stakes under Flavien Prat, winning by 8 3/4 lengths in 1:21.71 and stamping himself one of the top winter prospects for trainer Bob Baffert. The fastest 2-year-old in California did not act like Sunday was anything other than an ordinary afternoon at Del Mar until he reached the starting gate for the Grade 3 Bob Hope Stakes.
