Prior to the Oaklawn meet, he made five starts without a win but did finish second by a neck and third by a neck in maiden races in Kentucky. Stretched out to two turns in his first Oaklawn start Dec. 25, he romped by 7 ½ lengths in a one-mile maiden race and then ran even better in a 1 1/16-mile allowance optional claimer to kick off his 4-year-old season on Feb. 5, 2026, winning by 12 ½ lengths.
A move up to stakes company followed, and Nu What’s New set the early pace before settling for second to Magnitude by 3 ¾ lengths in the Razorback. In the March 28 Oaklawn Mile, he set a pressured early pace and was kept to task in the stretch to prevail by three quarters of a length over Grade 1 winner East Avenue, earning his third win in four starts at Oaklawn.
Nu What’s new is a gelded son of Munnings out of the Scat Daddy mare Heavenly Scat, and is a close relative to Santa Anita Handicap winner Southern Image.
