Beating White Holiday and any of the other stiffs in that race today at Delaware is not a feather in Nicanor's cap. The thing is, he proved he was a good horse with a couple of good efforts at Gulfstream and the huge turf debut. I just don't see how anyone could have watched his race today and become any more certain that he's a graded stakes caliber horse.

I think it was a solid race...he set a legitimate pace while stretching out, and I think had more in reserve if Napravnik had needed to go to it. He wasn't all out today. She shook him up at the top of the stretch, he quickened, and then she just hand rode him to the wire with something left in the tank. I think he got what he needed to out of the race and look for him to be even fitter coming out of this race.
