Way to go Nicky!!! In his second outing on the turf, Nicanor blew away the field in a mile and an eighth allowance race on the turf at Delaware Park on Wednesday, going wire to wire. It was an exciting outing to say the least.
Nicanor went off as the favorite and paid $2.80 and covered the distance in 1 minute 52.95 seconds. White Holiday placed; Stevil was third. And as usual, a strong contingent of Fans of Barbaro were in attendance and cheered him on.
When I last spoke to Gretchen Jackson, she mentioned that Michael Matz thinks very highly of Nicky and after yesterday's performance we can all see why. He may be pointed to the Virginia Derby at Colonial Downs but no definitive word. "We are not exactly sure where we may run him next," Matz said. "We want to take our time and see how he comes out of this race. But we were very pleased with his race today."
Wherever Nicky races, I am sure he will have many admirers. Dare we say we predict a bright turf career to truly establish him as his own "person?"
