Nicanor is a race horse.

Mike Matz is a total joke with first time starters .... and this horse had a legit excuse on top of that in his debut.

Nicanor's last 3 races have all been very solid.

Agree Doug, and I hope that Matz doesn't now confine him to turf just because he found a soft spot to get the diploma...

Well said, Matz couldn't get a first timer to the enclosure in a walk over. Hoping he doesn't fall in love with the turf and Nicanor. That was a pretty easy grass spot, but don't rule out the dirt now.

Edit: Just now saw Steve made similar comments on Matz and the lawn. I'm not trying to be Ron Borges here. No plagiarism!
