Nicanor Not Up to the Task
01/31/09 18:44 Filed in: Horse Racing
In his debut race, Nicanor stumbled early, slightly
injured himself, made a mid-race charge, but then
fell back, finishing 10th.
You can see video of the race here.
Hopefully, the injury is nothing serious, and the future bright for Barbaro's kid brother.

Nicanor Set to Carry On Barbaro's Legacy
01/27/09 21:57 Filed in: Horse Racing
Thursday will be two years since Barbaro lost his
lengthy battle to survive the horrendous injuries he
suffered in the 2006 Preakness. Seldom in history had
so much of the country been so taken, so horrified,
so saddened, by an injury and the subsequent death of
a non-human.
The legacy has not ended, however, as possibly just two days later, the long awaited debut race of Barbaro's full brother Nicanor will finally take place. It appears that Nicanor will race either this Saturday or the following Saturday at Gulfstream Park, in his long-awaited first race.
The 3-year-old bay colt has weighty horse-shoes to fill, and while his bloodline will increase speculation as to his potential success, just to see him on the track, following in his brother's spotlight, will be a wonderful spectacle to embrace.

"I Never Meant To Step On Him”

Basketball
Houston guard Aubrey Coleman "apologized" to Chase
Budinger of the Arizona Wildcats, saying that he
"never meant to step on him".
The video from Saturday night's game says otherwise:
Time for Arizona, the Pac-10, and the NCAA to take action and suspend Coleman for a substantial period.
Even if he's telling the truth, Coleman was more than careless in walking "over" Budinger, with reckless disregard for Budinger, lying prone on the hardwood.
