The Stud El Perejil runner put in a very solid performance to capture the Clásico Prensa Hípica (L), on the Palermostraight
It is not always easy to translate what is suggested on paper into a performance and a result on the racetrack. However, in the case of Bailarín de Venecia, responding to his credentials in the Clásico Prensa Hípica (L-1000 m, normal dirt) was almost a formality. The race was the centerpiece of Monday's card at the Hipódromo de Palermo, which suffered, economically speaking, from being held simultaneously with the Argentina vs. Austria match during the 2026 World Cup.
The Stud El Perejil runner arrived with solid credentials and a fresh victory under his belt in the Clásico Santiago Lawrie (G3) on the San Isidro turf. Now, it could be said, he completed the task without breaking a sweat.
Breaking from an outside gate, he showed up among the leaders early on and consolidated his dominance as the meters went by. The best part of his performance came from the 250-meter mark to the wire, when he steadily drew away, crossing the finish line 2 1/2 lengths ahead of Peso Argentino (Le Blues). Half a length back, Filoso Class (Filoso Emperor) completed the trifecta, hitting the board a nose and a neck ahead of En Un Rincón (Manipulator) and Contra Pronóstico (Daddy Long Legs).
The horse bred by Haras Tres Jotas clocked a very sharp time of 55s49/100, following blistering fractions of 22s59/100 and 43s81/100, adding even more merit to his impressive conquest.
Trained by Wálter Suárez and María F. Alvarez, the son of Angiolo achieved his seventh victory from 17 starts, and his fourth in stakes company, as his record also includes victories in the Clásico Cyllene (G2), the aforementioned Lawrie, and the Clásico Diamond Jubilee.
Out of Brandina (Roman Ruler), from a family imported from the United States by the late Haras Arroyo de Luna, Bailarín de Venecia grows stronger by the day among the sprinters. He now awaits another opportunity to test himself against the leaders of the division at the G1 level—perhaps the only tier where he still owes himself a top-flight performance, though it feels like only a matter of time before that happens.
