Nicanor Tires; Ready Set Wins

Here is Nicanor's race from yesterday and while he didn't win, the second half of the entry, owned by Lael Farm, did. Ready Set was impressive catching front runner Hugo at the wire. It was a valiant effort and an excellent win for the colt, formerly trained by Michael Matz.

As for Nicanor, well, I think he got tired by the blazing fractions set by Hugo, who thought he was a sprinter. Nicanor hung gamely until the top of the stretch, when the two Lael entries were actually side by side, and then just didn't have anything left.

So as they say, you win some, you lose some. Lucky for the Jacksons, the day was not a washout! Both brothers got some good racing experience and they should come back strong for the Fall racing season.
