I see that Nicanor worked out on 02/04 and Lentenor worked out on 02/05.Let's hope we get to see them race very soon. Also, Margano has in fact been nominated for the Triple Crown, but I for one much as I care for him, don't think he's quite ready. Time will tell.

Mill Ridge should be so proud. They helped get Margano through his first rough weeks with broken ribs, infectd umbilical cord. But this boy's spirit would not be denied -- he's very much like Barbaro in that way and he fought for good health. He's a wonderful young colt and he's going to be very exciting to watch.

Margano was apparently on the wrong lead, so that when Javier tapped him with the stick, he changed to the correct lead. Otherwise, it was a hand ride. Margano is very talented and mature for such a youngster. He's also gorgeous! Hey, Orlando, your boy did fabulously!!

For the 3rd time now, I've read that perhaps this year, LaVille will be visiting Bernardini rather than Dynaformer. While that's kind of sad in a way, perhaps they could get a filly even if she was only a half-sister? cousin? to the boys. Also, cross your fingers, its up to Barclay Tagg, but Margano might be racing on dirt in a minor stakes race possibly in January. Kentucky Derby anyone?

Margano has all the makings of being another "Barbaro" when in his last race he didn't run faster he
simply lengthened his tremendous stride and covered
more ground, Margano
has all the ear marks of another great champion, and I should know, spent
many years researching Barbaro
before writing my book "Barbaro and Other Inspiring Horses".

I know what I forgot in my last post. Daddy Dynaformer should be well represented in this race. Besides Margano two of his daughters have sons that are also running No Play and Awesome Life. At the moment, our Margano is the favorite at 3-1. Also at the moment it seems he'll be racing against 11 not 15. Still when a bunch of youngsters get together to play anything can happen. Let's just hope that everyone comes home SAFELY!!!

Margano is in fact scheduled to run in race #7 at Gulfstream this Saturday 3:21 EST. This should be a real barn burner. There are 16 2 yr. olds running some for the first time so anything can happen. I just hope everybody gets home SAFELY!! Nicanor it seems won't be racing til this spring. Lentenor had a workout the other day so maybe we'll see him before the end of the year. As for the youngest brothers I'm hoping 3B (Barbaro's Baby Brother gets a proper name for Christmas (Probably not though) and if there is another brother/sister on the way that they get here safely. Happy Holidays Everybody! All Creatures Great and Small!

I just read that Margano may be racing this Saturday at Gulfstream. If so, Godspeed and Good Luck. Nicanor it seems has been on vacation and apparently will be brought along very slowly, but will be back to racing this spring. Lentenor recently had a workout, so perhaps we might get to see him race one more time to race this year. As for 3B, here's hoping he's growing bigger and stronger. If LaVille is in foal again here's hoping she and the newest addition are doing well.

I just read that Laurel Park will be shutting down for the rest of the year. Since that was where Lentenor was scheduled to run twice, but was subsequently scratched, I'm thinking we might not get to see our boy race again this year. As for Margano I'm guessing since he does seem to be on pretty regular workout schedule, we might see him. As for Nicanor, who knows. My hope is that if LaVille is in foal that she is doing well and is tucked in safely for the winter. Last but not least here's another wish for 3B (Barbaro's Baby Brother. My holiday wish for him is a proper name.

I'm not discouraged in the least by Margano's first start. Typical of a Barclay Tagg horse not to win its first. I actually prefer to see horses lose their first than to run real big and than disapoint. The great Sham couldn't win 'til after many, many tries. The great ones often mature late. Not that Margano is anything like /Sham/. Just making a generalization. ;3

Margano put on a good demonstration of what he can do. After remaining behind a wall of horses for most of the race, his jockey let him out in the stretch and boy did he run! The finish line came up too soon, but Margano was still running. Just 4.5 lengths behind the frontrunner, he has more to show us and we will be so thrilled. And man what a dark beauty he is! I'm hopelessly in love with him!

Margano came in 7th out of 10. Even though that might not sound too good, he actually did run a very good race considering from what I understand, that he had the least experience of any of the other horses. He was didn't throw a snit and fight the jockey like Nicanor has been known to do and he pretty much was in a place where he wasn't going to get hurt. Also, at the end he seemed to have an AHA moment and came running willingly, just a bit too late. Let's hope he gets to run at least one more time this season to show everyone what he can really dol I say Look Out racing World, Margano is here!

The pictures of Lentenor"s last race haven't appeared yet, in part I suspect because of Hurricane Irene. I saw today 9/3 however that he had a workout and was 3/21. Good Job! Hi to LaVille and 3B and Here's hoping Nicanor is doing better.

Just another hello to LaVille and 3B (Barbaros Baby Brother). Still no word on Lentenor or how he's doing. I did hear a rumor that he came out of his last race all muddy and that maybe he doesn't like the dirt. Margano had another workouton Tuesday the 30th. Cross your fingers, we may be seeing his debut in the not too distant future. I'm betting even though its his first race that it will be something special.

So sad to hear that the Jacksons' and Michael Matz split up. I was hoping that they would be able to continue working together to campaign some great horses. But, it seems like the Jacksons' know what they're doing, and while I am a fan of Matz, I don't really understand what had happened. There was an article on BloodHorse that Matz thought it was something he said or did. I'm not sure, I wasn't there, but I hope Matz can recover from this blow and continue training well. The same goes for the Jacksons'. I hope they continue to get better horses and increase their popularity.

Still no official word on where or when any of the brothers. However, Margano had a gate work at Saratoga on 7/21 so maybe that's a hint. Dynafortwo, another son of Dynaformer (3 yr. old) broke his maiden at Saratoga in just his second try. Might want to keep an eye on him. Also have to say Hi to 3B ( Barbaro's Baby Brother.

Since the two names left on the list are taken it will be exciting yet excruciating waiting for the little ones official name. 3rd: Best of luck with more wishes for Margano, who is now in the barn of Barclay Tagg, and also to Nicanor and Lentenor who are now in the barn of Leigh Delacour. See you guys at the races a bit later this year!

Tia: Neither name is available. Calypso was taken in 1993 and Sereno was taken in 2007. There is an entry for a Calypso Bay which has been reserved for a couple of years. Not sure if the Jacksons's reserved his or not but I tend to think it is more a filly name than it would be for our boy but hey I could be wrong on that too.

I just watched a replay of the 2006 Kentucky Derby for the first time in 5 years; for some reason i had to see Barbaro again, it's been so long i felt i would be able to handle, and since it has been so long the race seemed like it was happening live, i threw my arms up so happy and proud that he won, only to break into tears when the reality set in that he was no longer with us, so i searched other sites to pictures of him, to end up finding out that he just had a baby brother, it was like his own personal message to me that it was ok.

Hi everyone! Maybe now would be a goo time to take a look and see if the name Calypso is still available. I believe before losing the filly that was the name we all figured out would be next after Margano. Perhaps instead of being born on "Derby" Day. Our precious little one is waiting for the Preakness so we won't be quite so sad on that day.

Barbaro has a special place in my heart and I will never forget him! He also shares the same birthday as my very special twin nieces, Emma & Abby, as well as the legendary Dale Earnhardt!

This colt that I am carrying is growing leaps and bounds and is due sometime the first week of May .. hmmm .. Derby Day?

Heard on BloodHorse that they're going to keep the sex of La Ville's foal a secret until it's born. Also heard that Nicanor had his third work-out in two weeks, going five furlongs in 1:01.00, second quickest of the eleven that worked the distance on the fast dirt track at Palm Meadows training facility.
Hopefully there is a race coming up here soon for our dear Nicky. As for Lenny, I have not heard anything about him in a while. Hopefully everything is okay with our rising star. As for Margano, good luck with your breaking-in! I know it probably won't happen for much longer, but here's good luck for you!

For too curious parties, The mares bred (Stallion Report) is due August of the breeding year-to the Jockey Club. I think the owners don't want everyone to be so interested in the internal workings of their mare. Would you ask a friend over and over again if their daughter was pregnant?

Ok! Ok! so neither Nicanor or Lentenor ran in any of the Triple Crown races. So what? Those races were for Barbaro and perhaps Margano. In the meantime Nicanor and Lentenor will be taking other paths to greatness. In fact, for all FOBs that I know are disappointed, I would suggest "Think 2012! How's this for a scenario? Not only does Margano win the Triple Crown but he also scores the Breeders Cup Classic. Nicanor and Lenetenor will have honed their skills and found not only their niche but the perfect match with a jockey to guide them, and they win also win the Breeders Cup races in their respective catagories. Cross your fingers.

Wanted to add one more thing about Barbaeo's training in Florida, Jill Stephens
was training Barbaro and every morning when he say her coming down to saddle him he would break out into a little dance and when he ran in the Derby, he new she was there. having keep up with Barbaro
on a daily basis and his growth spurts, I predict that Margano, will
be the next Barbaro.

Seeing Margano was quite a shock, he was standing by two workmen and is a monstrous horse for a year old.
Which reminds me when Barbaro was shipped to the Stevans in Ocala, Florida. for training and the Stephens
wanted him loaded back up. because they didn't train horses that age, thinking he was 21\2 or 3 years old.
It was then he was introduced to Barbaro, and given his papers stating he was only a year old, Stephens said
"Good Grief, he's the biggest most developed one year old I've ever seen, in my 20 some odd years of training horses , and the rest is history. when he shellacked 19 of the world's best three year old's in the Kentucky Derby.

Good News Bad News It may not have been a win but I saw severalgood things comne out of Nicanor's race. He obviously has speed and he obviously knows where to go to get the lead. He just needs to harness enough of his speed to save some for the end. Better luck next time. Also, its good to hear about MM's plans for Lentenor. The pictures of Margano were stunning. Look out big bros. And last but not least Hello to La Ville. Here's hoping your visit to Dynaformer worked out.

Lightning in a Bottle...An expression that I truly believe in. Secretariat,ManO'War,Seabiscuit, and even Cigar---all were exceptions. Thats why we will always remember them. Not to get to religious here, I believe that every once in a while GOD reaches down and touches a foal and says,"This One". BARBARO,may have been one of those. He may have been the one meant to remind us all what COURAGE looks like. ( happy birthday Barbaro in heaven )
Wonder if we learned anything with his life...Kindness, thoughtfullness, and caring is needed in our world its so easy to write words and unfortunately mean them but we are past that..Barbaro meant what he had to say and showed great behaviour for one that could not talk...we need to take lessons from him...

loieb, I will tell you a little story about, Barbaro he was a fabulous horse that comes along once in a lifetime, millions of people had a dream that he would win the triple
crown. After his dominating victory in the Kentucky Derby, we were sure of that and that was still our dream. Then a terrible accident occured, but we still had our dream, and for eight months he lived, and we still had our dream. he struggled to the end, but alas he didn't quite make it. this put an end to our dream. but Mrs Jackson, who had fed Barbaro fresh grass from Lael farm on a daily basis came to us with another dream, when she said, don't feel sad don't be dismayed, I'll have reinforcements on the way. and our dream was again re-kindled, with the legacy of the hounds. She was true to her word. Along came Nicanor then Lentenor and even babynor has a hounds name and our dream continued at least it did until we find out that Calypso will never be part of the legacy of the hounds, because the name was taken [under some strange circumstances] another dream shattered. Will the Jackson's quit breeding LVR to Dynaformer, maybe this is the end of the legacy of the hounds, does this put a stop to cloning another Barbaro, or one even greater?
So loieb you won, I hope your satisfied, because the FOB's can be real resentful when their dream is over.

Here's some interesting information about your horse. From the looks of things all through breeds are required to have
to have papers. It seems like this was not the case, please read about it.
Flying W Farms Calypso
bay gelding foaled July 29, 1995.

The mother was definitely thoroughbred but we never had her papers.Summer Song is the name we gave her.

David the name can not be Calypso as that name has already been taken. Now Marcano is reserved... which may have been done by the Jacksonsit is not Margano so that is a distinct possibility and as for Serento that name is not reserved or used. If all goes well it should be Marcano.

DaisyMae, Penny in TX, I happened apon some new Babynor pics on Bloodhorse. Go to their photo shop and flip through the "on the farm and at the track" files. Theres some recent pics of him. Or I should say more recent. And if you can't find it, then search LaVill 09 colt in the photo store search box. Hope this helps

Wow, I was in awe watching the HBO Special about Barbaro. I was inspired very deepley by this story, it touched my heart like nothing I have experienced. I thank you all for sharing this very special story. It was evident to me this horse was loved by many and he had the ability to love back. I fell in love with his spirit. God bless you all.

Watched Lentenor race
yesterday on Directv
ch 602 finished second
he was by far the best horse
in the race. his jocky
said he should have
taken him to the lead when he had the
chance, but didn't
Matz said he's still a little
young. Hope they
enter him next month
in the Florida Derby

I thought that was a great race, he lost some of his kick, but he is young and learning, his jockey moved him off the rail way too soon, He did well. Good job Lentinor.

Lentenor did very well coming home safe and passing all but 1. How about grass next time? Also, good luck Nicanor when your time comes, to 09 (He's not a Babynor anymore) for the day when he gets his official grown-up name and especially to La Ville when she goes to visit Dynaformer again. (Think pink).

Am excited that Lentenor will be racing on the 17th. Will have fingers & toes crossed. NY Times interviewed Michael and it looks if all goes well that he will be nominated for one of the Triple Crown races, may not be the Derby but maybe the Preakness. Would love it if that was true, would love to see him finish what Barbaro did not have the chance to do.

Barbaro will live in out hearts and memories forever, he was an inspiration to all of us, he had so much grace and beauty and God given talent, he had everything but "length of years". he is a true champion, though for all he did "off" the track and all the courage he displayed under the worst of fate. He has done more for his breed than any other and has inspired all of us to give from the heart to find a cure for Laminitis, beacause the break of bone did not kill him it was the laminitis, which has taken so many from us including the Great Secretariat to name one of the thousands. Please donate every month, not just today, God Bless Barbaro's Family and keep them save, may they run with the wind and God's Blessings

"Barbaro"
It was an ordinary day at the Rainbow Bridge, sunny and warm, and all the creatures were playing or resting while waiting for their people who had loved them on Earth.
Suddenly the tranquility was broken by a sound like thunder, which most residents could just barely remember. The sound got louder and louder, a powerful, rhythmic pounding until a crowd formed to see what it could possibly be.
Finally, within a cloud of dust appeared a magnificent stallion, snorting and galloping across the Rainbow Bridge into eternity. The animals knew that Barbaro had arrived, on four strong legs, never to limp or be in pain again, while he waits for all his people who loved him so much....

I am so very sorry, Mr. Bell. You and everyone at Mill Ridge must be broken up about the loss of La Ville Rouge's filly. I am certain that you have great affection and excitement over the birth and healthy life of every one of your hundreds of young ones, and the beautiful mares there. So I want to express heartfelt condolences for what you all have gone through. Though there is much good news with Lentenor recently, Nicanor and of course the young one you still have in your charge, this must have been trying. And to the Jacksons, I am sorry you had to take another blow of sadness. But we all look to the future . . . and so much joy to come.

Mr.Bell, this news broke our hearts, we FOBs. Is La Ville rouge all right? Our sorrow has turned to worries about our Lovely LVR. This may take some time for us to get over, despite the great joy over Lentenor's impressive win yesterday. We have the 3rd anniversary of Barbaro's death coming up shortly. How is baby LVR2009, whom we all call Babynor -- has he been officially named yet? Thank you for the time you take to respond to us, the faithful FOBs.

Wo sorry to hear about the unborn foal of LVR. Sometimes things happen for a reason and we aren't always privy to what that reason may be right away. Hope the mare recovers and is fine. My condolances to all of the Family's connections.
On a much lighter note, congrats, Lentenor. Way to go on that final turn and down the stretch. Good job. How's Nicanor? It seems that we've not heard anything about for ages. Hope that bone bruise is finally a thing of the past and the big guy will be at the track soon.

Wow! I was looking though Blood Horse photots...have you seen the newest pics of "Babynor"??? He looks a lot different from the pictures I've seen. His coat is much darker and his mane and tail are lighter and he has no socks. The caption says Dynaformer/La Ville Rouge 2009 colt but I actually had to look at the caption to realize it was him. He looks so different.

I thought Lentenor did a pretty good job. It seemed like he was trapped for a while but coming in safe is all I really care about. I think he will keep doing better and he looked so much like Barbaro it is just incredible it did bring a tear to my eye. Love to the Barbaro family.

Nice 1st start for Lentenor. It's a little hard to see all that much in a race on TV. I'm in Nebr. and had to watch the race via simulcasting (also alternated between watching races and our football game). Looked like the colt wasn't all that bothered by being in a crowd. Had to make a move coming out of the turn and going into the stretch. I thought he did a good job of going around horses. He should have learned a great deal in this race. Often times, young horses think they know everything their 2nd start. Looks like this colt may have a good head on him and doesn't get fractious. But, again, didn't get to see all that much via TV. Good job, Lentenor and Better Luck next time.

Wow. I am still in shock that LVR is finally going to have a filly. The first filly in a male-dominated family. LVR has had colts since retiring to the breeding shed. I still can't wait til next March. Hopefully she'll foal sooner. We can only hope and cross our fingers. Good luck LVR!! Lentenor, we're hoping you show the talent that Barbaro showed!!! Maybe the talent skips every other full brother.

Have kept track of Lenenor's works. Looks like he's doing quite well in his training. He'll be fine when he has his first start. Mr. Matz seems to bring young colts along well without pushing them too hard, Good Luck to the Barbaro family.

I'm sure by now babynor is not much of a baby. Has he been sent away for weaning time? Always sad for baby and mom. Lenny seems to be taking to being a racehorse just fine. Give a hello to Nicanor for us all, I'm sure he will be fine too! Oh yea! do you know when babynor will have a name. Give a hug to LVR for me. What a great mother she is. Best wishes to all at Mill Ridge and again thanks for all news.

PATIENCE!!! Easy to say. Difficult to exercise. However: it has been noted several times before that foals from this family line tend to be "late bloomers" Anyway, by next year (its not that far away) hopefully Nicanor will have recovered and be making a name for himself as a four year old turf specialist, Lentenor will be making his debut as a three year old, the youngest boy will have a name and THE FILLY will arrive safely after an uneventful pregnancy for LaVille Rouge. For now how about just all the prayers, best wishes and loads of luck to all these magnificent horses and the people who care for them?

Nicanor, the full brother to Barbaro and the 7-2 morning-line favorite for the $750,000 Virginia Derby on Saturday at Colonial Downs in New Kent, Va., was scratched from the race Friday after suffering an unspecified injury to his hind end the previous afternoon.
"We took him out of his stall to walk him and graze him, and he was very stiff in behind," trainer Michael Matz said from his Fair Hill training center headquarters. "I don't know if it's anything serious or long-term. Nothing turned up on X-rays, so we sent him to New Bolton to have a nuclear scintigraphy done on him to see if something can be found."
Nicanor was coming off back-to-back turf wins at Delaware Park and was scheduled to make his stakes debut in the Grade 2 Virginia Derby.
"It's disappointing because we were all very much looking forward to going down there to watch him," Matz said. "But we certainly wouldn't take any chances, so we'll just have to get him right and look forward to something else down the line."
The defection of Nicanor left a field of nine 3-year-olds in the Virginia Derby.

OK. This is the one you’ve been waiting for -- the stakes debut of Nicanor. But you can be sure, Saturday’s Virginia Derby is going to be a real trial by fire for Barbaro’s full brother. He will break from post position 4 under Jose Lexcano in the 10-horse field.
While Nicanor has shown great potential on turf for owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson with two wins in as many starts on grass after two second-place finishes on the main track, he definitely has never faced the type of other 3-year-olds he will be competing against here, in a grade II race with $750,000 purse.
The class of the race is Battle of Hastings, a British-bred trained by Jeff Mullins. The gelding has five wins and a second in 10 career starts, all on turf. His best effort came in his last race, over the same turf course at Colonial Downs, when he rallied for a narrow victory in the Colonial Turf Cup (gr. IIT).
As if that wasn’t enough, Straight Story and Lime Rickey, who were second and third in the Turf Cup, are returning in the Derby. Also, the race drew grade II winner Hold Me Back, who had a troubled trip to finish 12th in the Kentucky Derby and will be making his turf debut here.

As most know, the world-famous Barbaro was born at Mill Ridge Farm, where Headley Bell is the managing partner. Bell's family has the reputation of being excellent horsemen. His mother Alice Chandler was the founder of Mill Ridge Farm, his grandfather Hal Price Headley was one of the founders of Keeneland, and previous generations of horsemen have established high standards and very big boots to fill.The ultimate satisfaction for Headley Bell is breeding racehorses, and in his association with his clients he has had wonderful success as a mating consultant. This has been demonstrated by winners Honor in War (G1), Strut the Stage (G2), Breeders Cup Mile winner Artie Schiller (G1) and Barbaro, the leading three year old of 2006 and Kentucky Derby winner.
Mrs. Gretchen Jackson said when Barbaro was hurt, "Don't worry, reinforcements are on the way," and now that statement rings true, full-brother reinforcements bearing the names of Nicanor, Lentenor, "Babynor," not yet officially named, and a wonderful filly yet to be born. Our dream of a Triple-Crown winner lives on, thanks to Dynaformer, LaVilla Rouge, and Headley Bell, a true breeding genius. We can never re-pay all of the happiness he and his horses have brought to our lives. David M Letell

I was reminded recently by a friend of an article I wrote several years ago, called "'Big Train' Barbaro," so I'll re-post
this very heart-warming story for his many friends and litterly thousands of Barbaro's fans worldwide.
"Big Train" Barbaro
When I was raised in Westlake, Louisiana, my home was located just two blocks from the Southern Pacific tracks.
We kids would go down and watch the beautiful silver train the famous Sunset Limited roar past on its weekly journey
to California. We could put our ears to the tracks and hear it coming for several miles. When we heard it coming, we would all get very excited and jump up and down and clap our hands and shout with glee, here comes the "Big Train."
Here comes the "Big Train"!
That's exactly what came to my mind when the Kentucky Derby announcer Tom Durkin, who called the Derby, said,
"Here comes the big unbeaten colt, Barbaro! He has suddenly lengthened his big stride and broken away on the
outside and is really flying! Barbaro has swept past the front runners Keyed Entry and Sinister Minister and now has
taken over the lead! Barbaro has now broken into the clear and is really pouring it on! He's running away from the
field, and now the race is all Barbaro! He has just won the Kentucky Derby by seven lengths!"
The only thing I could think of then when Tom Durkin was calling the race was of my childhood days when we
used to jump up and down and shout, "Here comes the 'Big Train'! Here comes the 'Big Train'"!
I believe "Big Train" Barbaro, would have easily won the triple crown and take his rightful place as one of the
greatest thoroughbreds of all times. He was an unworldly courageous champion who inspired us all and who will
forever be cherished as our "Big Train"!

Have you ever wondered
why Barbaro was such
an excellent horse and champion, here's the reason.
"Barbaro had an unconventional breeze at Churchill-fast and a very long stride (over 25 feet). His internal speed figures were super, best of the week. This woman (who is not a fan of his) told me Secretariat's stride was 23 feet. Barbaro never really quickened--he simply extended his long stride down the stretch and showed complete superiority. He had a stride length of 24 feet going into the first turn, on the backstretch and on the far turn. He maintained the same basic speed for each quarter to the end--but when he hit the stretch, he extended his stride length to 24.9 feet. Thus, he covered the last quarter in fewer strides than he took for each previous quarter. For another horse to beat him that horse would have to have been on even terms at the quarter pole and had a stride length of a minimum of 25 feet down the stretch. And that would have been a real stretch.

Having spent a year
and a-half writing my book about Barbaro, I
swore, I'd never write
again. But with three
Barbaro brothers and
a filly on the way
it's going to be
tempting, maybe she'll be another "Rags to Riches" or
"Rachel Alexandria"

*Cross your fingers for a filly*
Also, idk if it's just me but has anyone ever noticed that Afleet Alex and Barbaro look a lot alike in certain poses? It might just be me.
Does anyone think Nicky has a chance at making it to the Breeders Cup this year?
I wonder if Lenny will start racing as a 2 yr old. If so, he may have a better chance at making it to the Derby next year. *Crosses Fingers*

When I was watching the Preakness the year that Barbaro was hurt, I sobbed. I cried so hard and blamed myself, because I loved him that much. When I found out he was headed to New Bolton Center at the Universtiy of Pennsylvania, I instantly ran up to my father and told him that he was going to take me there that weekend. I demanded it from him. I wrote the owners a letter saying how I could not believe that this happened, and how much I loved Barbaro, and I even asked if I could take him home, or own him. I was desprate to hug Barabro, and to see him in person. I honestly believed that they might let me have him. I really loved him, and I still think about him sometimes. I miss him, and I hope that Nicanor can follow in his footsteps.

Nicanor, Barbaro's full brother who broke his maiden by 15 more than lengths in his first start on grass, breezed 3 furlongs in :37 at Fair Hill on Wednesday, June 3.
Trainer Michael Matz said the son of Dynaformer “worked very well” under exercise rider and assistant trainer Peter Brette.
Also, Matz said Nicanor has been entered in a 1 1/16-mile grass race on Saturday’s Belmont Stakes card at Belmont Park but he is unlikely to get in. The next opportunity for the colt to start would be a grass race at Delaware Park in a couple of weeks.
Nicanor is among the early nominees to the $500,000 Colonial Turf Cup (gr. IIT) June 20 and $750,000 Virginia Derby (gr. IIT) July 18 at Colonial Downs. Matz said it has not been decided whether the colt would run in the Colonial Turf Cup.

I read Big Brown's Sire was no longer being used for stud purposes. That Big Brown was his last foal so if this is the case LVR could'nt be bred to him. I think breeding her to Dynaformer is a match made in heaven. And Nic might not have made the Kentucky Derby but I still see lots of hope for him. And can't wait to see Lentenor race. I still remember the video of him when he was born shortly after Barbaro passed on and they said here's to the 2010 Kentucky Derby. I am really waiting to see him start runnng.

After a steady rain gave way to overcast skies, Woolley and Allen made their way to the front gate of Churchill Downs.
They placed the winner's garland of red roses on the recently unveiled statue of Barbaro, the 2006 Derby winner who broke down in the Preakness and had to be euthanized nine months later.
After fans had a chance to take photos, the garland was removed. The two men then stripped the blanket of its flowers and handed them out to a long line of fans, some of whom told Woolley and Allen they had cashed big win tickets on Mine That Bird.

I have followed the story of Barbaro's Legancy since everything happened.. I am preying for the brothers but also am wondering , why not breed big browns sire with barbaro's dam??? That might be a good combo. Still be a half brother of barbaro and might surprize everyone. Best of luck with the young brothers...Sincerely yours

I am appreciative of the fans patience with our communication on La Ville Rouge and her '09 colt. The '09 Dynaformer colt had an infected umbilical vein and eventually had surgery to remove this infection. Thankfully he is recovering very well from this surgery and yesterday was turned out into a small paddock and is enjoying the green grass and sunshine.
La Ville Rouge was bred on Sunday to Dynaformer and we will learn if she is pregnant in about 2 weeks.

Nicanor Back at Home at Fair Hill
After spending some time at Keeneland in Lexington this April, Nicanor returned home to Fair Hill in Maryland.
The 3-year-old Dynaformer colt posted a work out there April 28, breezing five furlongs in 1:01.4. The time was the fastest of three at that distance.
Trainer Michael Matz said Nicanor will most likely race next at Delaware Park.

He must be elated at being home:)
