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 Valdivia Jr. through a half-mile in :50.10 and six
furlongs in 1:14.29. He powered well clear entering the stretch and
cruised to a 2 1/2-length victory in the optional claiming race.
Nicanor, who was not entered in the race for a claiming price,
completed the distance on firm turf in 1:43.28.
