The first two scored on debut, while the latter pulled off a surprise, all among the three-year-olds; El Romancero proved too much for his rivals
Wednesday’s card at San Isidro failed to leave a lasting impression in terms of quality, with some of the optional claiming events for younger horses providing the most interest.
The opener, the Premio Sand Springs (1,400 meters, dirt) for three-year-old maiden colts, produced a surprise winner in Tipazo (Equal Talent–Bathala, by Montjeu, Haras Don Arcángel), who rallied strongly late to collar the favorite Morrison Inc (Gouverneur Morris) at the wire in 1:17.43. Esteban Torres was in the irons for the Edgardo Martucci trainee, representing Stud Pedro Simón, who had finished unplaced in his previous two starts.
Immediately afterward, the division for three-year-old colts was decided by the gray Envidioso Frank (Gidu–Envidiosa Key, by Key Deputy, Haras Gran Muñeca), who opened his campaign in style, leading from start to finish and holding off a late surge from Indicado (Seek Again) by a half-length. The winning time for the La Peladilla representative was 1:16.66, guided by the highly successful duo of trainer Marcelo Sueldo (presented by Juan P. E. Díaz) and jockey Gonzalo Borda.
Among three-year-old fillies still seeking their first win, the Premio Vistoso Nov (1,300 meters, dirt) also saw a debut triumph. Sizzling Hot (Springdom–Reinvent, by Incurable Optimist) impressed, battling for the lead with La Dormilona(Treasure Beach), taking full control before the stretch, and drawing away to score by five lengths over Casi Toda Candy Ride (Strategos) in 1:17.87. Juan C. Villagra had the mount on the Triple Alliance-owned filly, trained by Guillermo Frenkel Santillán.
Finally, among older multiple winners, El Romancero (Il Campione–Romagna, by Bahiaro, Haras El Paraíso) lived up to his heavy favoritism (paid $1.70), asserting his class to win by three lengths over Lunático Blues (Le Blues) in the Premio Predador (1,100 meters, dirt).
