San Isidro Closes the 2yo Season with Six 1400m Condition Races

Es Por Amor, Have Fun, Hi Mohmix, Moon Frank, Sanky, and Catys Queen Close Out San Isidro’s Juvenile Turf Season

While there were no stakes on Sunday at San Isidro, the card featured the final juvenile races of the semester, all contested over 1400 meters on turf, split evenly between colts and fillies.

Among the fillies, the Premio Semanera opened with a strong debut victory by Moon Frank (Gidu—Moon Sale, by Not for Sale), a homebred for Haras Gran Muñeca. Ridden by Brian Enrique and trained by Diego Peña, she scored convincingly by two lengths over Joy Royal (Roman Joy) in 1:25.75.

In the second division, Catys Queen (Lizard Island—Citys Queen, by Cityscape) justified her heavy favoritism with a dominant four-length win over Camionette (Fortify) in 1:26.7 despite drifting in the final stages. Owned by Alfredo L. Martínez and trained by Pablo Sahagián, she was guided by Juan P. Paoloni.

Sahagián and Paoloni completed a double when Sanky (Seize—Venus Li, by Strawberry-Li) broke her maiden in her seventh start, defeating first-time starter Roma En Abril (Roman Joy) by two lengths in the final fillies division for Stud Río Quinto.

Among the colts in the Premio La Suspicaz, Have Fun (Fortify—Hendaia, by Orpen), bred by Haras Vacación, delivered on the promise of his debut, scoring by 3 1/2 lengths over Cosmic Stripes (Cosmic Trigger). The Doña Pancha colorbearer was ridden by Juan C. Villagra for trainer Guillermo F. Santillán.

Hi Mohmix (Hi Happy—Momix, by Include), a La Providencia homebred, made a winning debut in the next division, edging out favorite Night Crawler (Cityscape) by a half neck despite showing signs of immaturity. Eduardo Ortega Pavón guided the colt for trainer Pedro Nickel Neto.

The final juvenile race of the semester saw Es Por Amor (Strategos—Inofensiva, by Pure Prize) return to winning ways with a five-length romp. Runner-up in the Gran Criterium (G1) to Ardiendo (Remote) in his previous start, the La Palmera runner, trained by Juan Saldivia and ridden by William Pereyra, took a while to hit top gear but was much the best once he did.
