This Saturday, Windsor, Ontario native Paul Reddam, owner of thoroughbred horse Nyquist, will watch be at the Kentucky Derby watching as his horse tries to live up to his favorite status.
Reddam has lived in California since 1979 but he has remained a diehard fan of the Red Wings, naming several of his horses after Wings players.
Needless to say, Nyquist is the best of all of the horses named for Red Wings.
