Coming from a 240 days layoff, the son of Daniel Boone will face Gran Compañero and Alfie Solomons in the Easing Along (1000 m)

With the temperature giving a brief respite from the rains that fell during the night and in the morning, the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo will receive this Friday a new day of races, with 14 turns in between and the basis of the Easing Along Handicap, scheduled over 1000 meters (dirt) and for 4 years old and up horses, with a low prize of 4,700,000 pesos for the winner.
Veterans of good level will face each other with an uncertain outcome due to the plurality of existing options. The top weight of 60 kilos went to Quibbler (Daniel Boone), who returns after a 240 days layoff in pursuit of returning to the path of victory.
Winner of the handicaps Resuello and Phoenix, he left the straight to try his luck over the 1200 meters of the Clásico Adolfo P. Giovanetti, but was just third to Atrevido Electric (Electricity). On his way, he crosses paths with several top names, such as Gran Compañero (South Kissing, 58 1/2), fresh winner of the Hunter's Moon Handicap, beating Flamenca Island (Lizard Island, 51) and Tabacano (Fortify, 52 1/2) by a head and 5 lengths, with whom he will now face again, although giving them wider advantages in kilos.
On the outside of all of them will be Alfie Solomons (Safety Check, 58), the best sprinter of La Punta, San Luis, who said goodbye at the beginning of October, finishing second to Mississipi (Sabayon) in the Make Tracks Handicap, at San Isidro, where El Acuchillador (Angiolo) had won, to be later disqualified by prohibited treatment.
Gonna Fly Now (Key Deputy, 57 1/2), who comes from finishing fourth in the Liloy Handicap, but had previously won the Aristophanes Stakes, taking care of Humor Sabatino (Sabayon), will bring more speed.
Crispado Key (Key Deputy, 56 1/2), winner of the Especial Bon Cavalier, at La Plata, although over 1200 meters, and Príncipe Soñado (Fragotero, 56 1/2), who recovered his profile by finishing second to Earth and Fire (Cosmic Trigger) by 3 1/2 lengths in the Classic Latency (L).
