The son of Filoso Emperor was a comfortable winner of the Especial Life for Sale, over 1000 meters
LA PLATA.— The affinity of Ander Fil with the local track was confirmed this Friday, as the son of Filoso Emperor put on a high-flying demonstration to capture the Especial Life for Sale (1,000 m, dirt), the featured event of the card contested over a muddy surface.
Carrying 54 kilograms, he recorded his fifth victory in 6 starts at this venue—his first above condition level—and fuels the dreams of his connections to target turn-sprinting stakes, although to date all of his outings have come over the five-furlong distance.
With Darío R. Gómez in the irons, the representative of Stud La Salamanca, from Gualeguaychú, Entre Ríos, contested the pace early along with Magyar (Lenovo, 58) and Start to Victory (Don Chullo, 52), kicked clear upon entering the stretch, and made everything look remarkably easy from there on out.
Cruising effortlessly without being fully extended, he crossed the wire 6 lengths ahead of Start to Victory, with Antiguo Secreto (Angiolo, 52) finishing third another 3/4 of a length behind and a neck clear of Magyar. A further 2 1/2 lengths back, favorite Lindo Tono Pass (Distinctiv Passion, 52) once again performed well below expectations to round out the pay window in fifth.
Ander Fil, who was bred by Haras Elite and is trained by Nicolás Hahn, stopped the clock in a sharp 59 seconds flat over rain-soaked going.
