Bigger bet-against than Nicanor was in his debut?

I can only hope so!

I thought Nicanor went off at 5-1 and ran 2nd. That is what racereplays.com is showing.

That might have been his second race. I only remember bc I smashed the $hit out of the race with Warrior's Reward. I'll never in my life forget it. Parx patrons couldnt take their eyes off of my brother & I for going bananas.

Word around the backstretch is he's being moved to the John Ward barn for a more aggressive training approach.

I think you are right. Racereplays.com does not cover Parx. So the first race they show for him is at Gulfstream. It was so long ago that I don't even remember. I remember watching some of his grass races at Gulfstream but I don't remember his debut at all.

His debut was at Gulfstream ( I think Warrior's Reward won it at a HUGE price ). I feel like he opened at 1:5. I was at Horsemens Park in Omaha.

He didn't debut at Parx.

When a horse scratches, racereplays will have the race listed but the finish position is left blank. They show his finish position as blank in that race on Jan. 31, 2009. So I assumed he scratched that day and that his debut was the next listed race where it shows he finished 2nd on March 7. But as you said, I now see that he did in fact run in that race on Jan. 31 that Warrior's Reward won at 30-1. I have no idea why racereplays showed Nicanor's finish position as blank when he did in fact run in that race.
Anyway, I guess he was 4-1 on the morning line and got hammered early but ended up going off at 5-2.

It's OK that you were wrong. Most of us, probably even you ( and definitely me ), are wrong ALL the time.

Nicanor's race was at Gulfstream. MSW at a mile.

I was at Parx with my brother. Him & I w/ a smile.
