Everyone welcome Nicanor-Barbaros little brother

[Merlinsky]

How do you pronounce the name? Sounds like something from Lord of the Rings but Barbaro kind of does too for that matter.

Isn't a second full sibling to Barbaro due in 2007? If so, has it been born yet?

For some reason I want to say that she was bred to someone else. And that she will be bred back to to Dynaformer. But I could be having a brain cramp too. I would think she would be concidering what Bobby was doing this time last year but I am not sure.

No she's due to produce a full brother in April and be bred back. There was an article on the newly named Nicanor awhile back and they talked about it. You know what that timing means--during Derby or Preakness coverage we might get to see him on one of the foal patrol segments! I love that they can find out gender. I bet they're hoping to get a filly the next time. We all know how good Dynaformer mares are to have. They would probably not be trying to stand these colts but a filly they'd get to keep and breed on as part of their organization.

You're welcome.
