The Colt Puts His Unbeaten Record on the Line in the Clásico Club Hípico de Tandil (L); The G1 Winner Favored for the Especial Dart
LA PLATA.- Besides the G3 Clásico Isidoro Aramburu, Tuesday’s card at La Plata will feature two other stakes races. The Clásico Club Hípico de Tandil (L, 1100m, dirt) is set for the new generation of juveniles, while older horses will meet in the Especial Dart (1200m, dirt), open to 5-year-olds and up with at least three wins.
Richardisong, undefeated in two starts, will seek to extend his perfect record in his stakes debut. A son of Emperor Richard, he scored by 5 lengths over Lagrimero Pass (Distinctiv Passion) here on debut before shipping to San Isidro to win again, defeating Full Caluroso (Full Mast) by 2 lengths over heavy ground.
He will face the seasoned Viejo Cuchara (Il Campione), who owns 10 starts and exits a solid fourth-place effort in the G3 Estrellas Junior Sprint, just 5 1/2 lengths behind Campo Verde (Strategos) and only half a length behind Sarzana Pass (Distinctiv Passion).
Dual winners Andrin (Manipulator) and Dom Rui (Storm Embrujado) add depth to the field, while Valdobbio (Hit It a Bomb) and Serbal (Springdom), each with a maiden victory at Palermo, round out the lineup.
In the Especial Dart, G1 winner Vespaciano (Daniel Boone, 56 kg) will look to take advantage of a softer group to return to the winner’s circle. Now trained by Carlos Santiñaque, he was last seen finishing third behind El Ernesto (Señor Candy) and Twitch Hurricane (Hurricane Cat) in the Especial Talavera, a credible effort.
Top weight Fancy Model (Lizard Island, 58 kg) will aim to continue her rebound after running second, beaten 2 lengths by El Ernesto, in a recent San Isidro allowance. Meanwhile, Minero de Oro (Violence, 56 kg) looks to maintain momentum after narrowly defeating El Acuchillador (Angiolo) in his latest outing up north.
