BRAINTREE, Mass. & LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sentient Jet, a Directional Aviation company and the Preferred Private Aviation Partner of the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks, and Churchill Downs, is pleased to announce it will sponsor Reddam Racing for the 142nd Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby. Reddam Racing’s Nyquist, the winner of the 2015 Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, is a frontrunner for the Derby on May 7, 2016. Reddam Racing’s Land Over Sea will compete in the Oaks on May 6, 2016.
“We have been fans of Nyquist ever since his win in the Sentient Breeders’ Cup Juvenile last fall and have been closely following his road to the Kentucky Derby,” said Andrew Collins, President and CEO of Sentient Jet. “As longtime supporters of the racing community, we are excited to cheer on Nyquist and Land Over Sea on their quest for Derby and Oaks championships.”
Sentient Jet is the Preferred Private Aviation Partner of the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks, and Churchill Downs. As part of the partnership, the company launched Derby Air powered by Sentient Jet to allow guests of the Mansion at Churchill Downs to book private travel to and from Louisville. Sentient Jet has also launched a Kentucky Derby-themed flight card.
“Sentient Jet has established a fantastic reputation among the horse racing community through their sponsorship of the Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Juvenile,” said J. Paul Reddam, Owner of Nyquist. “They have been avid fans of Nyquist since his win and we are honored to have their continued support.”

Paul Reddam.
