Will be interesting to see what they give Antitrust. He ran 2nd, 3/4th a length back of the winner San Valentino at the same condition, same distance, 3 races after Nicanor's performance. San Valentino got home in a fifth slower than did Custom for Carlos; 1:23.46 vs. CoC 1:23.25 Not saying that 94 for Nic's effort isn't right, but it certainly seems high for a place effort in a msw race

I was never impressed by Nicanor and have had a doubtful, pessimistic attitude toward him being a stakes horse.
However I was very surprised and impressed from his run yesterday. Here was a horse who is bred for 10 furlongs and he was running a fast extended sprint in only his second start. He actually looked good doing it. It would be great to see him stretch out and maybe run a longer route over that tiring Keeneland track for his next start. I think his pedigree would then be to his advantage, while most of his rivals want no part of a route over a tiring surface. If the owners were a little crazy they might even play with the idea of the Blue Grass Stakes. Maiden or not, he is never going to get another chance to run for 750K against mostly dirt miler 3yos, on a synthetic-turf surface going 9 furlongs! lol

I could be way off...
but when i watched Nic's first race he seemed to get up to a pretty good speed pretty quickly but lost all chance at the jump. i was looking forward to betting him yesterday but was in Alabama and wasn't about to ask my deeply southern Baptist future in laws if they minded if i headed to the otb at the bham race track. Good to see him run good was surprised he went off at 8-1 doesnt matz do ok with 2nd timers?i agree with boby fisher about maybe taking a wild shot at Keen. but i also wonder about a trip to the turf. Would love to see him at Keenland may even go over and check him out. Course his odds will be awful but would still like to see him.

I take it the match race is off
I went to the OTB to see some friends. The guy that announces that they are going to give changes at this or that track made a crack about Nicanor purley being bet on emotion - implying he had no shot. Then went on to rave about Zito's million dollar dud.
I've never heard a kind word about Nicanor. I tossed him and he ran great.
