Of the 7 entries, 4 are maidens, and all those who already know what it means to win are under the trainer’s care
Two-year-old colts will face a new step in the selective process this afternoon in the Clásico Agustín B. Gambier (G3), which was rescheduled from its original date due to the low number of entries initially received.
As it stands, seven contenders will line up at the city's racetrack seeking to add some stamina as the distance increases to 1200 meters. Of these, four are maidens—and not exactly those who lost by a nose on debut—which robs some luster from a race that, it should be noted, is being held just four days after the Clásico Santiago Luro (G2) in Palermo, under the same category and conditions. Of the three winners in the field, all are trained by Marcelo Sueldo.
Leading the trainer's representatives is Chichipío, who finds a great opportunity to confirm the strong impression he left two weeks ago when he won the Clásico Criadores Argentinos del Sangre Pura de Carrera (L) in gate-to-wire fashion and with ease. The son of Angiolo, who had previously finished far behind the ill-fated Lebrón Blues (Le Blues) in the Guillermo Kemmis (G3) in Buenos Aires, defeated El Rayo Pass (Distinctiv Passion)—fourth in the Luro—by four lengths on a heavy track.
In his path, Chichipío crosses with Full Lujoso (Full Mast), also trained by Sueldo, who recently broke his maiden in his third start. Carrying the colors of the unstoppable Stud Pauli, he won by two lengths leaving a good impression and will have Gonzalo Borda in the irons. Sueldo’s trio is completed by El Brigadier (Mask), who disappointed in the Criadores Argentinos by finishing last. He undoubtedly needs to improve.
Joy Conquistador (Roman Joy), Brigadista (Daniel Boon), Fogoso Moi (El Moisés), and Inalcanzable (El Charlarín) are expected to battle for the fourth through sixth positions, in a situation that only puts the future graded status of the Clásico Gambier at risk. But, as always, the ball keeps rolling without anyone having the wisdom to stop it before the damage is done.
