Who Is Litmus Test?

Litmus Test is a fascinating unknown. The Nyquist colt won the Los Alamitos Futurity last fall, and carries the pedigree to succeed at classic distances , his sire won the 2016 Kentucky Derby, and his dam by Malibu Moon is a member of a female family that produced Sierra Leone, Locked, and Midnight Bourbon. The commercial valuation of $875,000 as a yearling reflected real market confidence in his quality. The problem is that the available source materials did not include his 2026 three-year-old prep race record, making it impossible to assess his current form and fitness. This is not a horse to bet without doing additional research first. Look up his spring prep results, check his recent work tab, and understand his current condition before committing a dollar. If he has trained on well, the pedigree absolutely supports a legitimate Derby bid. If he hasn't run in 2026, proceed with significant caution.

Litmus Test's father is Nyquist, a TRUE champion — he was Horse of the Year and won the Breeders' Cup! His mother's side traces to Malibu Moon, another legendary stallion known for creating multiple Grade 1 winners. This is ELITE pedigree.
