I know about Nicanor and Lentanor, but was this breeding repeated
and if so what are the results?

Depends on your criteria for success.
In addition to Nicanor and Lentenor, there is Margano and the as yet unraced Pennmarydel.
All three of the older full siblings won allowances and were stakes placed. Lentenor won an ungraded stakes. None have come close to being the second coming of their brother, and I don’t think that should be expected.

Full siblings almost never do. You have to dive through old race records to find out if My Play was anything besides Man o’ War’s full brother.

I think Man o’ War had four full siblings (at least after his foaling, Mahuba was never bred to anyone but Fair Play.) And none were anywhere as notable as he was. Though of course Man o’ War is a substantially higher bar to meet than Barbaro so that’s even less surprising…
OTOH, doesn’t Zenyatta have a full sister with a similar running style?
re Zenyatta, she has a 4 yr old HALF sister who appears to have some talent, but she has been very lightly raced to date. I think two for two, and is w/ J. Shirriffs. Name is Eblouissante, sire is Bernardini.

You hardly need to go back into the mists of time. In just the last 10-15 years you have…
Galileo was a dual Derby winner and champion. His full brother Black Sam Bellamy was a multiple G1 winner. Their full sister was 2nd in the Oaks to none other than Ouija Board.
Banks Hill, Cacique, and Champs Elyses all full brothers and sister and all multiple G1 winners and their full brother Dansili was multiple G1 placed.
Samum, Schiaparelli, and Salve Regina, full brothers and sister that between them won every G1 race in Germany, all three legs of German triple crown and the filly, besides winning the Oaks, even finished 2nd in the Derby and Grosser Preis Von Baden against older males.
Ashado and Sunriver, full brother and sister and multiple G1 winners.
After Market and Courageous Cat are full brothers and both multiple G1 winners. Their full brother Jalil is a G2 winner.
If you want to go back further than that and you have the likes of Personal Flag/Personal Ensign, Try My Best/El Gran Senor. and too many others to mention.
In the Quarter Horse lines, the breedings of Three Bars/ChicadoV produced multiple top runners.Here’s her story

Double that with a little sigh on top. Some folks always have something to prove.

Isn’t Balance another half sister that did fairly well ? Not as successful as Z, but not too shabby either.

Yes. Balance was a 3x G1 winner and earned $1,048,491.
When Zenyatta started racing, she was probably referred to as “Balance’s half sister”. As Z’s career went on, I think Balance became known as “Zenyatta’s half sister”, if you get me. LOL
