Barbaro’s Little Brother Nicanor Out of Virginia Derby

Posted: Friday, July 17th, 2009

By The Associated Press

Nicanor, the full brother to 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, has been scratched from the Virginia Derby on Saturday because of a leg injury.

Trainer Michael Matz says Nicanor injured his left hind leg during a gallop the other day. The injury became evident when the horse worked out Thursday in Maryland.

The $750,000 Virginia Derby at Colonial Downs is a Grade 2 race. It would have marked Nicanor’s stakes debut. Nicanor has won his last two starts on grass after not winning in three starts on dirt.
