TRANSCRIPT OF NICANOR'S SESSION WITH HIS THERAPIST:

Nicanor: So anyway, I've just been feeling a lot of pressure lately. My career debut didn't go that well. I mean, I finished 2nd on the grass at Calder in a field of 12, but I get the feeling people want to see me on the dirt. And I was 2-5, so I let down a lot of bettors too.

Therapist: Who is pressuring you?

Nicanor: The Jacksons. They haven't said anything, but I can tell I am supposed to fill my big brother's shoes.

Therapist: Oh. You have a brother?

Nicanor: Had. He's dead. He won the Kentucky Derby.

Therapist: I see. And, you feel like you are expected to follow in his hoof steps?

Nicanor: Kinda.

Therapist: What about your trainer? Is he pressuring you?

Nicanor: No. He's cool. He's the one who suggested I debut on the grass. But those damn Jacksons fought him every step of the way. Like I said, the pressue is killing me.

Therapist: Ok. I think I see the problem here. I'm gonna prescribe some anti-anxiety medication for you, as well as a nice, relaxing Maiden Special Weight at Gulfstream. Let's go for a one-turn mile on the dirt. How's that sound?

Nicanor: Dirt? No. No. I want to stay on the grass. Now you're pressuring me.

Therapist: Come on, son. It's already December, and you have yet to break your maiden. The Kentucky Derby is less than six months away. Let's get going.

I don't think many people follow him because they expect him to be great, but rather because he is a part of the whole Barbaro story. His fans will luv him no matter what he does on the track. In that sense there is no pressure at all.

What if he's a claimer?

Highly doubt that the Jacksons would ever let him run for a tag...He means too much to them.

shoot and you know he'll stand at stud (even if just at a smaller operation) just because of who his bro is... I'd claim him!!

if he's slow, they'll retire him and pull in stud fees due to his bloodline. no way he'd run for a tag.
