The upcoming programs at the country's main racetracks were finalized this Tuesday, with the strongest action focused on San Isidro, where this coming Sunday the Clásico General Las Heras (G3-1400 m, turf) will be contested for mares 4 years old and upward.

With 4 defections from the original list, the field of participants was fixed at 12, featuring: Adi Shakti (Lucullan), Amonet (Mask), Blessed Shine (Honour Devil), Cara Romana (The Great Day), Centinela del Mar (Strategos), Creencia Espiritual (Strategos), Foto Mental (Leofric), Interiorista (In the Dark), Party Girl (Outstrip), Reina Secreta (Victor Security), Stormy Summer (Nicholas), and Verenna (Cosmic Trigger).

The week in the north will kick off on Friday 12th with the Especial Halo Ola (2000 m, dirt), for mares 5 years old and upward with 3 or more victories, serving as the feature. Of the 6 horses confirmed, Reina Casada (Long Island Sound) shines as the favorite and also as the highweight, carrying 60 kilos.

For Wednesday 17th, meanwhile, the highlight of the day was supposed to be provided by the Especial Final Meeting(1200 m, dirt), for all horses 5 years old and upward with 3 or more victories. However, out of 15 entries, only 5 were confirmed, and the racing committee canceled the event, leaving the card with a bottom-tier level.

Over at Palermo Racetrack, there will be no stakes races across its two scheduled programs for Saturday, June 13th, and Monday, June 15th.

On Saturday, the heaviest betting date of the week, the feature will be the Handicap Cote D'Or (1600 m, dirt), for winning mares 4 years old and upward, supported by an acceptable conditional menu.

There will ultimately be 7 contenders, with the topweight of 57 1/2 kilos assigned to Guadilu (Señor Candy), who was also entered in the Clásico General Las Heras but scratched from that event.

On Monday, the main attraction will come courtesy of the Handicap Your Majesty (1600 m, dirt), for winning horses 5 years old and upward, accompanied by the Especial Ruler Man (1000 m, dirt) and the Especial Héctor S (1400 m, dirt), the latter two reserved for runners with racing history in the provinces.

The scratch of Comando Secreto (War Command) in the Your Majesty left Hop On (Endorsement) as the highweight, carrying 60 kilos.
