Horse racing's most famous sibling is about to get his first test. The bay colt Nicanor, the full brother of Barbaro, is nearing his debut, an occasion that will begin to answer a question that has hovered over him since shortly after his birth: Will he, too, be a star?
His trainer, Michael Matz, who also trained Barbaro, says Nicanor should be ready for his first race by late January or early February and will begin his career at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. Matz is not sure how good the 3-year-old Nicanor will be, but he is optimistic that he has a bright future.
"I think he's a real nice colt, and we've always thought that of him," Matz said. "He's been working quite good. It was just that he needed some time to grow up mentally. He's a real nice horse."
