Detroit — Times are good for thoroughbred owner J. Paul Reddam.
They could be better Saturday night.
That’s when he hopes his horse Nyquist, named after Red Wings forward Gustav Nyquist, is in the winner’s circle wearing a garland of roses after winning the Kentucky Derby.
But, things aren’t that perfect at least off the track.
“It would be nicer if the Red Wings were still in the playoffs,” said Reddam, a Windsor native who has been a Red Wings fan since he was about 5.
Reddam, 60, has been able to mix his two loves, naming several of the horses after Red Wings players.
