In top form, the son of Angiolo captured the Necochea at San Isidro and establishes himself among the leading sprinters
Bailarín de Venecia remains steady. Over the turf at the Hipódromo de San Isidro, the Stud El Perejil representative secured his third consecutive stakes victory in the Necochea (L-1000 m) and looks forward to the upcoming clashes against the leaders of the sprint division: Le Cornette (Emmanuel) and El Epecuen (Il Campione).
The latter two set the standard, but the son of Angiolo stands at the head of that second tier of sprinters fighting to keep rising. That impression has always surrounded him, but now he has achieved a consistency that allowed him to climb a step toward bigger dreams.
With Brian Enrique in the irons and carrying the top weight of 60 1/2 kilos, the pupil of Wálter Suárez and María Fernanda Alvarez let Gracias Gringo (Touareg, 53) show the way early on, maintaining advantages over the rest of the field until the final 200 meters after blistering fractions of 21s99/100 and 44s51/100.
At that point, Enrique decided it was time to strike, and Bailarín de Venecia responded, took command, and sealed his victory, holding a 3/4-length advantage at the wire over Land of Promise (Le Blues, 60), who delivered another strong performance and has his first stakes victory in sight. A neck back, a game Gracias Gringo dug in to finish third, all clocked in 57s20/100 over a standard winter track.
Bred by Stud Haras Tres Jotas, Bailarín de Venecia reached his eighth victory from 18 starts, pushing his earnings to 74,291,000 pesos.
Now among the best, the hero of the Necochea brings joy to his connections and already sights on the horizon another clash against the top short-distance horses. Watch out, here he comes...
