The Friday allowance races left among the three-year-olds names that will surely soon be protagonists in the stakes
If there was one thing in abundance during the meeting held this Friday at Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo, it was races with future projection. The Clásico Farnesio and the two divisions for 2-year-olds were at the center of attention, but among the older horses there were also several performances to highlight, with names that will surely soon make an appearance in the stakes.
For example, in the mile of the Premio Laborioso, the return to action of Nevado Catedral was stunning after a break of more than six months and a change of trainer, as he moved from Nicolás Martín Ferro to Gerardo Alteño.
The son of Gouverneur Morris and Nivología (Easing Along), who had been third in the Grandes Premios Estrellas Juvenile (G1) and Polla de Potrillos (G1), demonstrated striking superiority. In the early meters, he allowed Motto Motto (Must Go On) to run on the lead, gradually dominated him, and in the straight drew away without his jockey, William Pereyra, having to urge him.
Bred by Haras La Pasión and racing for the Disco Eterno stable, he clocked a great time of 1m36s38/100 (the best of the day on a very tough track) and now totals 2 wins in 6 starts, standing ready to become one of the great figures of the season in the short term.
Moving down to the kilometer, the Premio Intérprete then faced 3-year-olds with 2 victories, and there the promising Corre Caminos (Strategos and Avellanosa, by Angiolo, Haras El Paraíso) hit the mark again, reaching his third consecutive conquest by defeating El Olimpo (Qué Vida Buena), the favorite of the contest, by 1 length.
Ridden by Hugo Alegre and under the training of Juan José Egüen, the colt showed plenty of courage, breaking on top and finishing in the same position, making the efforts of his rivals, of which there were many, futile. His time of 57s50/100 adds another point of interest to his performance.
Among 3-year-old fillies, it was the Premio La Tiple, with 1,400 meters ahead, and the striking victory of Alcala(Angiolo and Balcadora, by Incurable Optimist, Haras El Paraíso), who won from gate to wire by 2 1/2 lengths over Milan Fashion (Fortify), in 1m25s64/100.
Additionally, the victory of the 4-year-old Doña Vanidad (Fortify and Doña Leva, by Orpen) in the Premio Inimitable, for winners of 1 or 2 races over the dirt mile, deserves mention. The San Benito homebred won by 1/2 length over Foggy Song (Sixties Song) and is moving forward.
