Both favorites, the former prevailed in the Forli (1,700 m) and the latter won the Forli (1,400 m), always on a heavy track
LA PLATA.— With the victory of the favorites, the two specials that served as the central tests of a weak Friday session at this city's racecourse were resolved, where the handle was in the order of 342,181,876 pesos—about 200 million less than what would have been achieved at San Isidro or Palermo, as is usual.
On one hand, Mister Coquette (Bodemeister, 56) extended his notable current form by claiming an indisputable victory in the Forli (1,700 m); on the other, Silencio Dramático (Grand Reward, 54) responded to his good reappearance and won the Inter Red (1,400 m), both contested on a heavy track.
Following notable victories at the end of the previous season in Azul, Mister Coquette made his presence felt under the skillful handling of Matías Muñiz, who tried to lose as few meters as possible on a very complicated ground that had the rail area practically untraversable.
Upon reaching the straight, the rider sought a lane in the middle of the track to advance with the Stud Rey de Corazonesrepresentative, who responded in the best way, dominating and pulling away with authority to cross the wire with a 2 1/2-length advantage over Don Chamamé (Long Island Sound, 54), in a time of 1m48s27/100.
Mauricio Muñiz conditions the horse bred by Haras Firmamento, who now totals 6 wins in 25 starts and promises to become even more dangerous in the future.
A short while later, Silencio Dramático put another number at the top of the scoreboard for the team comprised of Stud Pauli, trainer Marcelo Sueldo, and jockey Gonzalo Borda.
The bay was always in contention and locked in a duel with Dozen Lake (Anjiz Lake, 52) in the stretch, gaining the advantage by the 200-meter mark and maintaining it until the finish. Ultimately, the margin that separated them was half a length, after a time of 1m26s13/100.
Bred by Haras Los Turfistas, the consistent Silencio Dramático displays a superb 50 percent strike rate, having won 5 of his 10 presentations.
