BH to Have Video of Nicky's Race Wednesday

While some of you have already shared with us how to view Nicanor's race at Delaware Park Wednesday, we have news of another alternative that beats the others: the video will be available at bloodhorse.com for an extended period.

According to Eric Mitchell, executive editor of digital media, the video will be available about 30 minutes after the race, which has a post time of approximately 4:24 p.m. (ET). Eric said the video will be available for BH readers until our contract with the video provider ends, and we have a three-year contract.

Because I have been searching non-stop for results of the Lentenor wrokout that was to have taken place over the weekend, I had Lenny on my mind when I first wrote this blog post. So I erroneously said Lentenor was racing Wednesday, when it obviously have been been Nicanor. My bad. Some of you caught it very quickly. Give yourselves an A in editing.

Here are the Equibase entries for Nicanor's race.

WHAT?  NO Rosie on Nicanor?  Greg J.  What do you think about this now?

StardustyRose 15 Jun 2009 1:04 PM

I can`t wait to see Nicanor`s race! Go Nicky!

Glassoniongirl 15 Jun 2009 1:30 PM

Stardust no disrespect but why the comment on the rider?

Wanda 15 Jun 2009 1:57 PM

Stardust,

    lol, Yes, Rosie is on Nicanor, "A R Napravnik", The "A R" Stands for "Anna Rose", So yes, she is still on Nicanor, As far as my picks, Still trying to get all the info I can on Everything!, Not as easy as a higher profile field :)

Greg J. 15 Jun 2009 1:58 PM

Rosie Napravnik has been named to ride him.

Good luck Nicanor

Azaria Cavasin 15 Jun 2009 2:16 PM

Stardusty rose,

Rosie is riding Nicanor!

ALB 15 Jun 2009 2:19 PM

Rosie is riding Nicanor, but like last time.

KIM 15 Jun 2009 2:26 PM

2--Nicanor (KY)--3/C--A R Napravnik--114--M R Matz

Hey StardustyRose: A R Napravnik is Rosie.

Rambo 15 Jun 2009 2:30 PM

i loove nicanor! win ot for barbaro=] i see him winiing by about 20 lenghts:)

olivia newman 15 Jun 2009 2:31 PM

this should be a good race but as a caution show bet looks rock solid should pay at least 40% load up and hope he gets a win which i say is most probable now.

The Phantom 15 Jun 2009 2:37 PM

Greg J.  LOL

OK OK OK  I didn't know that.  I feel that she should be on Nicanor.  IMO I believe that horses do better with the same jockeys.  No offence to whoever I thought that was but just thought it was a different rider.  Could have been Gomez and I still would have freaked and I adore him.  :)

StardustyRose 15 Jun 2009 3:01 PM

The only horse on the field that I feel will give Nicanor some comeptetion is #4 ' No Mesa With Me' He's the only other horse on the field with a race record similar to Nicanors. 4 starts 1win 3 seconds. (Nicanor 4 starts 1 win 2seconds.)So hes a contender. But if Nicanor runs the way that he did last time, he should have no problem finding the winner's circle. I hope he does, and does it safely! :)

Lady Ruffian 15 Jun 2009 3:34 PM

Good Luck my sweet Nicanor. I will be watching and rooting for you on Wednesday.

Kathy 15 Jun 2009 3:47 PM

Still wish Matz felt like Nicanor was ready for Colonial Downs on Saturday instead but wish the team luck and hope he moves forward off this next race.  Greg, I hope you all enjoy the race and will give us a full report, win or lose.

Grey K 15 Jun 2009 4:47 PM

Wishing you the best Nicanor, be safe. We love you and Lentenor,

Barbaro always in my heart!

shirley in KY 15 Jun 2009 5:25 PM

Since I'm sure that I was not the only one that emailed HRTV

expressing the sorrow of myself

and thousands of fans following

Barbaro's brothers,I cannot take credit for the fact that HRTV is once again showing the

Delaware track races.  We can all watch Nicanor race on

Wendsday.

Azureblu 15 Jun 2009 5:55 PM

GO NICANOR!

MJ 15 Jun 2009 7:21 PM

I pulled the PPs from DRF and I don't see another horse that has speed figures even remotely comparable to Nicanor's.

His fans should sleep tight. It would take some really awful luck for him to lose that race on Thursday. But you know what they say about horse racing...

Good luck Nicanor! Be safe!

Zookeeper 15 Jun 2009 7:34 PM

Can someone tell me how to see Nicanor's race at Delaware Park. TVG does not cover Delaware Park.

Thanks

Linda - Maryland 15 Jun 2009 8:26 PM

Hey you guys.  Xpressbet.com has this track too.  I am not sure but I "think" that you can go in and watch the vids.  You have to register but you don't have to pay anything to be a member.  :)

StardustyRose 15 Jun 2009 9:37 PM

Ron,

Thank you for getting Nicanor's race up on the BH site.  I think it is great BH is supporting this very loyal fan base.

JAJ 16 Jun 2009 7:12 AM

It looks like YouBet.net covers the races at Delaware Park. There is no charge to watch live racing though there is a maximum time limit per day.

It looks like Xpressbet.com requires that you fund the account with a minimum of $25. I emailed them about this just to be sure since Xpressbet covers more tracks.

Florida Horse Lover 16 Jun 2009 8:20 AM

GOOD LUCK NICANOR...

I wager at all of these and Xpressbet is one that I always go to just to watch the races if I don't want to wager.  It is Youbet that charges the monthly fee and then an extra one for the vids.  I haven't used TVG for a while so I can't remember there.  I have the best luck (not just with wagering LOL) with Xpressbet.com.  I don't have any money in there right now and just watched a vid of a race.  :)

StardustyRose 16 Jun 2009 11:49 AM

Direct quote from an email from Xpressbet - We offer limited video on our website without wagering. Eventually, you will need to wager in order to view races. Thank you for your interest in XpressBet and good luck at the races.

BriGuy 16 Jun 2009 3:09 PM

Good Luck Nicky Knocks!!  Stay focused and listen to Rosie.  Have a safe race.  The whole Barbaro Nation is pullin' for you!!

Chris K 16 Jun 2009 3:18 PM

OK so if you don't go in there much, then one should be able to see the race.  I rarely go into a wagering site with the intention of not placing a wager.  I just did that this morning.  Probably cause I have built up a lot of wagering credits.  I dunno.  :)

StardustyRose 16 Jun 2009 4:42 PM

Oh Nicanor please stay safe and i will be cheering you on, I'm sure your big brother will be watching you from above.  

Jackie Fan of Nicanor 16 Jun 2009 11:50 PM

What are the chances of NIcanor and Lentenor racing against each other?????

jackie Fan of Nicanor 16 Jun 2009 11:52 PM

jackie Fan of Nicanor

Hmmmmmmm that is a good question.  Would it be a dead heat?  :)  THAT would rock!

StardustyRose 17 Jun 2009 1:03 PM

GOOD JOB NICANOR... you did it again...

Kalesa 17 Jun 2009 4:40 PM

HE WONNN!!!

ever since they added blinkers and put him on turf, hes been doing phenominal!

michelle 17 Jun 2009 4:40 PM

He wins by 2 lengths & covered the 1 1/8 in 1:52.4. His closing odds were 2/5. He ran a very good race against winners. Next race will be a Stake Race, most likely @ Colonial Downs. He's a very nice Horse.

Clearwater Charlie 17 Jun 2009 4:46 PM

The win, so cool Nicky-nor!!!!

This baby is growing up now, wow....
