Barbaro would be so proud. :)

Agreed, I hope Nicanor can keep on improving although the important thing to his owners, I'd say, is having the horse stay healthy and coming back okay since . . . we all saw the Preakness, that would be a nightmare if it happened to Nicky...Barbaro wouldn't stand for that! Odds are he's up there cheering for his little brother!GO NICANOR!

If only he had kept his form...

@KrisandGM4Life amen to that brother!!!!

[Starflite]

I wonder how Barbaro would have done if they had kept him on turf...

Barbaro lives on in Nicanor! <3 But a tip for the trainer/owners... have him checked for Laminitis and on joint supps. Since thoroughbreds are highly imbred originating from the 3 Foundation sires (Turk, Darley, and Godolphin) laminitis has almost become genetic to the breed (I'm doing a Research Paper on the sport etc.) It's commonly found in Tbreds but can be seen in any other breed. Good luck to you Nicanor!! Make your big brother proud! <3

Even Barbaro had a massive turf win! I think this is his kind of racing! He totally dominated that field!
