The older brother of the triple G1 winner Charm prevailed by 5 lengths over Buen Escocés; Super Inter, barely third
Forgiven in the weights, with only 60 kilos for a superior campaign, Super Inter (Super Saver) seemed to have the Handicap Ultrasonido (1800 m, normal dirt) within reach, the race that completed Monday's stakes doubleheader at Hipódromo de Palermo.
However, as had been said beforehand, "races are races," and the 7-time stakes winner had a very poor performance, finishing barely third among only 5 participants and ceding all the spotlight to Emergent, the comfortable winner.
Repeating the same team as Campo Verde (Strategos), who on Sunday at Hipódromo de La Plata took the Clásico Jockey Club Argentino, the son of Il Campione shone under the mount of Juan Cruz Villagra and the preparation of Miguel Cafere, in perhaps the best performance of his campaign. Already the winner of the Handicap Silfo, the chestnut achieved his second victory outside of conditional ranks, dominating with enormous authority carrying 57 1/2 kilos.
Super Inter, as expected, found some ease in taking the lead, but could not sustain it. Emergent always had him within range and, when they reached the straight, everyone quickly understood that the leadership would change hands.
Villagra was traveling with plenty of horse under the winner, who dispatched an unusually shaky leader as if it were a routine task, and then moved clear of the attempts to catch him made by Buen Escocés (Bodemeister, 56 1/2), who finished as the runner-up 5 lengths back.
Another length behind, Super Inter had a very weak performance to finish third, with Boyero Spring (Greenspring, 54 1/2) and Valle Barún (Vástago Salvaje, 55 1/2) closing out the field, all in a time of 1m50s50/100, following partials of 26s23/100, 49s98/100, 1m13s19/100, and 1m37s18/100.
Bred by Haras El Paraíso, and defending the colors of Stud Mamina, Emergent reached his sixth victory in 14 outings, with 42.5 million pesos in prizes. He is none other than the maternal brother of the triple G1 winner Charm (Strategos), the best filly of last season, from a family developed by the late Haras Melincué, based on genetics from Haras Chapadmalal (and its branches, Comalal and Malal Hué, of course).
