What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Nicanor...

Leigh Delacour’s stable has been rising in prominence since Delacour, a onetime assistant to trainer Graham Motion, and her husband, Arnaud, a former assistant to Christophe Clement, went out on their own in 2007.The stable has gained a reputation as an organization that uses a European approach in ...Read More
Little Mike continues his recent frontrunning success with a wire-to-wire victory in the Grade 3 Appleton at Gulfstream Park on Sunday. Joe Bravo took full advantage of the inside post and nursed Little Mike on the lead through solid fractions on :23.25, :46.07, and 1:09.05. Successful Mission, Cher...Read More
Little Mike has gone wire-to-wire in a pair of graded turf routes at the current meet and he is once again the target in Gulfstream Park's Grade 3 Appleton on Sunday. The hard knocking 4-year-old gelding, trained by Dale Romans and ridden by Joe Bravo, does some of his best work at today's flat mile...Read More
Nicanor is a wonderful race horse and reminds me of Barbaro. Which we all need to remember once in a while.

  • mrskrabitz · Luvzenyatta - if your asking about Lentanor, he was given a lay off last year... he has run a few times, but much like Nicanor, he has not seen the success of their older brother. The youngest of the family, Margano is currently in training in Florida. LaVille Rouge is also currently in foal to Dynaformer (again) · 454 days ago ·

  • luvzenyatta · Thanks MrsK; I was given the wrong info, the one I was looking for was LVR's, but his sire was not Dynaformer...appreciate the info on the other brothers. I think about Barbaro often, I really believe he would have been #12 · 454 days ago ·

Rain or shine, it looks like we will be given a post Thanksgiving Day treat with Nicanor hitting the track on Friday.  He is entered in the $60,000 Three Coins Up Stakes race at Aqueduct.  The race is to be run on the Aqueduct turf at 1 1/16 miles.  If the weather doesn’t cooperate (6...Read More
Nicanor, a full-brother to the 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, dictated the pace and dug in late to win Friday’s featured race at Belmont Park, a $52,000 optional claimer at 1 1/16 miles on the inner turf.   Eager to make the lead, Nicanor set opening fractions of 24.97, 49.57, and 1:13.47 ...Read More
Once again, Barbaro’s brothers are racing on back-to back days, but this time their roles are reversed.  Last month, Lentenor, in his first race back after a five month break, went first in an allowance/optional claiming race where he finished third.  The next day, Nicanor went in the Eigh...Read More
In the last 24 hours we’ve seen the two full brothers of the late 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro run at Delaware Park. Lentenor, a 3-year-old colt, finished third in an optional claiming race on the turf on Tuesday. Today, the 4-year-old Nicanor was a well-beaten sixth by ...Read More
Lael Stable’s Ready Set scored an upset victory against Nicanor in the $50,700 Eight Thirty Stakes at Delaware Park Aug. 25. With Brian Joseph Hernandez aboard, Ready Set chased the early pacesetter Hugo, who set fractions of :45.47 for the half mile and 1:09.20 for the three-quarters, before defeat...Read More
In what should be a very exciting week, we have Lentenor and Nicanor both racing at Delaware Park, Lentenor on Tuesday and now his big brother Nicanor on Wednesday. This will be the first time the brothers have raced in the same week. For the Fans of Barbaro and his brothers, it just doesn't get any...Read More
Nicanor's race was still six hours away and the rain was still coming down.  I came to the realization that the rain was here to stay and would affect Nicanor's race one way or another. Arriving at Delaware Park, after walking through the casino to get to the track (a long depressing walk!)...Read More
Trickmeister realized his potential Saturday, going wire-to-wire to win the $100,000 Barbaro Stakes in the mud at Delaware Park.Trickmeister and jockey Gabriel Saez had to wait out a steward's inquiry before the win became official. Coming down the stretch, Trickmeister drifted to the inside toward ...Read More
Notice I didn’t say “the" Pick Six and me because this is not a post about the elusive wager that I have never hit and seldom play. No this is about Pick Six, the horse. “Wally” is his nickname, and I've been following him since the first time he ever ran. The big, handsome bay colt, by Dynafor...Read More
Nicanor, the full brother to ill-fated Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, has been entered in the $100,000 Sussex Stakes at Delaware Park on Saturday. The stake, the 10th race on the card, will be run at about 5:18 p.m. (EDT) and, ironically, is on the same card as the Barbaro Stakes...Read More
Nicanor, the four-year-old full brother to 2006 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) winner Barbaro, won a 1 1/16-mile turf race on Wednesday at Delaware Park for his first victory in three starts this season. Nicanor seized command after breaking alertly and set a measured pace under Jose V...Read More
On sentiment alone, there is reason to like Nicanor in the Dixie Stakes. Few things in racing evoke greater sentiment than thoughts of Nicanor's full brother Barbaro, whose breakdown in the Preakness four years ago ranks among the most powerful memories that many fans will ever have of a horse race....Read More
Nicanor, full brother to 2006 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winner Barbaro, drew the far outside post in a field of 13 for his stakes debut in the $200,000 Dixie (gr. IIT) on the Pimlico turf May 15. The Dixie, at 1 1/8 miles, is the race preceding the Preakness Stakes (gr. I) on Pimlico's biggest day of r...Read More
Nicanor, the full brother to Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro who has not started since an allowance win at Delaware Park in June 2009, breezed five furlongs in 1:00 3/5 at Keeneland Friday, April 2, as he prepares for his return to competition next week. With champion jockey Julien Leparoux aboard...Read More
  • humphrey · yes fast WORKOUTS and not fast races is what embarassed the Green Monkey connections. A work is not a race, nowhere near to it. · 785 days ago ·

Barbaro/Nicanor/Lentenor's pedigree screams turf, and Barbaro had a gliding motion over the turf which most horses don't have. He took three races on dirt, last one being the Kentucky Derby, to get the gliding motion back on the dirt. Nicanor isn't a Barbaro, plain and simple, but he has promise to, not dominate, but do very well on turf.
  • cigar · Nicano is very talented... he's been more patiently handled and will do well this year once he gets going. · 787 days ago ·

It’s the sort of news that typically generates exactly no coverage in the mainstream media and not much in racing media: a three year-old of modest accomplishment, on the extreme fringes of the Kentucky Derby conversation, runs in a Florida Derby dramatically weakened by the defection of the two bes...Read More
