After a Misstep in the Necochea, Fabián David Trainee Bounces Back in Gritty Finish
Digging deep and calling on every ounce of his quality, Hiran bounced back to winning ways Wednesday at San Isidro, capturing the day’s featured Clásico Lamadrid (L, 1000m, turf) on a course that, true to the time of year, offered little elasticity.
A good horse indeed, the Fabián David trainee—racing for Stud Inclusión, which continues an outstanding 2025—was coming off a below-par fourth in the Clásico Necochea (L) under similar conditions and against several of the same opponents he faced here. That effort was particularly puzzling given his fine prior third behind Le Cornette (Emmanuel) and triple champion Labrado (Le Blues) in the Gran Premio Estrellas Sprint (G1).
This time, however, the son of [Sire Name—if desired, can be inserted here] displayed his trademark late punch, all while shouldering a top impost of 60.5 kilos. Camuflaje (Orpen, 60) and Opreso (Endorsement, 54) set the pace through an opening quarter in :22.76, with the latter edging away entering the final 300 meters. But along the inside came Hiran, gradually reeling in the leader and striking the front inside the final furlong to score by a half-length.
El Romancero (Il Campione, 54.5) rallied from the back to be third, one length adrift, with Camuflaje a close fourth. Filoso Class (Filoso Emperor, 59) was fifth, another five lengths back, while Mario’s Rim (Remote, 53.5) completed the field, 9 3/4 lengths behind the winner. The final time was :57.20, with an 800-meter split of :44.85.
Bred by Haras La Pasión, Hiran is a half-brother to G1 winners Humorada Negra and Humor Ácido (both by Emperor Richard) and G2 scorer Humorada Lírica (Sidney’s Candy). Now freshly turned four, he owns six wins from 10 starts, three of them in stakes company, all on turf—though, as he has shown more than once, any surface finds him at a high level.
