I'll be rooting for him 
I hope 'they' don't dwell on Barbaro today...I'm scared they will show his breakdown...hope they have enough brains not to do that...especially after the spill in the BES yesterday.

NBC you are a bunch of Mother******'s. My nephew is home from college and I knew the Dixie Stakes would be on T.V. right?!! NBC feels it is more important to go over and over about the second leg of the triple crown and BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. Man what a lame decision to not show the race. They had a great human interest story right there and they blew it!
I saw the replay on Youbet and I guess Nic tried today but he may be out of his league.

seriously.. i don't know what to say.
it would be bad enough if they just did not show the dixie, considering alot of these horses will be in breeders cup races later this year.
how do you not show the dixie stakes, with barbaro's full brother in the race, 1 hour before the preakness in which he broke down in, I have no idea.
that is literally snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
You could not draw up a better storyline than that.

Your all right...Hype up the horse more than he already is just to get defeated.

Hey, I'd much rather see an interview with a skier than the Dixie  ...unbeleivable.
Nicanor ran pretty poorly, but no one knew that before the race...why they didn't show it is beyond me!
JustRalph...you may be right...Matz need to try a flat mile...on turf. Me thinks they could get another 5 or 6 full sibs to Barbaro, but will never come up with one nearly as good.

The brothers are not miler types at all .
The distance is not the problem--the problem is that of all three that have run on the track, Nicanor is the most aggressive and rank, and burns himself out fighting the riders .
He did best with Rosie Napravnik, who was firm but polite with him .
He is a decent animal, but no Barbaro, and needs some more work on his acceptance to handling .
Matz is aware of his aggression issues .

Not showing the race was kind of strange, considering they DID show the big Turf race before the Ky Dby--why not this one???
But then Im still trying to figure out ESPN-not only did they blow off the BE Susan on Friday, but no undercard races on Saturday, zippo. They used to have almost all of them...
