Maximiliano Aserito earns a Monday treble at Palermo
Jockey Maximiliano Aserito enjoyed a banner afternoon on Monday at Hipódromo Palermo, visiting the winner's circle three times across the program
Three visits to the winner's circle made Monday's card at Hipódromo Palermo a truly memorable afternoon for Maximiliano Aserito. The jockey emerged as one of the standout figures on the allowance card, scoring aboard Wish to Go (Winning Prize), Riding High (Homage), and Alma Dulce (Fragotero) to cap off a career day.
On a program centered around the Handicap Mangangá, the rider forged his own headlines. His treble unfolded across various stages of the card, culminating with Alma Dulce’s victory.
The harvest began with Wish to Go, who captured the Premio Guapo Malevo over 1,000 meters, a condition event for 6-year-olds and up with one or two career wins. That victory served as the springboard for what would prove to be a prolific afternoon.
Later on, Riding High delivered the second leg in the Premio Gulf Stream, run over 1,400 meters for 5 and 6-year-old maidens. The win allowed the horse to exit the maiden ranks while positioning his rider on the brink of a three-win showcase.
The treble was completed by Alma Dulce, who claimed the Premio El Patio, an alternative 1,200-meter event for 4-year-old fillies with one win. With that result, Aserito wrapped up a stellar performance spanning three different distances, securing center stage on Monday’s docket.
The 3-year-old maiden ranks also yielded noteworthy results. Though both held under the alternative framework, the Premio Macón and Premio Vástago Salvaje, both over 1,400 meters, offered opportunities for sophomore fillies and colts seeking their first career victory. Coni to Sally (Marconi) and Kaloneri (Uncle Chuck), respectively, made the most of their assignments.
In the Macón, Coni to Sally found the winner's circle in her fourth career start. Building on three previous outings, the filly took the necessary step forward to kick off a new phase of her campaign, surging home to defeat heavy favorite Lilibeth (Hi Happy) by 6 lengths in 1m27s81. Her next test will come against winners after decisively clearing her first hurdle.
Kaloneri needed even less time to break through, shed his maiden status in just his second start by annexing the Vástago Salvaje. Having finished third on debut over the same track and trip at Palermo, the colt was already expected to contend. This time, he fulfilled that promise by translating early potential into a decisive win.
He prevailed by 2 lengths over Dandy Scape (Cityscape), stopping the clock in 1m27s74 over a grueling, demanding main track.
