Nanoosh, the winner of the $250,000 Zia Park Derby last Wednesday in New Mexico, will be based this winter at the Oaklawn Park meet that opens Jan. 25. 

"We're going to give him a little break and head to Oaklawn," trainer Robertino Diodoro said Monday. 

Diodoro said Nanoosh emerged from the Zia Derby in good order and will be freshened at Turf Paradise before shipping to Oaklawn the latter part of December.  

Nanoosh is a son of Paynter who races for his breeder, Zayat Stables.
