Another G1 for Javier Castellano, who has been having a splendorous season, on Saturday with BRIGHT FUTURE in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, a race with great tradition, in Saratoga, a horse that was 6-3 without any classic wins, son of CURLIN in SOPHIA’S SONG, by BELLAMY ROAD, bred by Clearsky Farm, the same as ARROGATE, and owned by Mike Repole’s Repole Stable with Vincent Viola’s St. Elias Stable, trained by Todd Pletcher. Sixth G1 of the year for Castellano, also including the Kentucky Derby, the Travers Stakes and the Belmont Stakes, also making merit given his career, Hall of Fame, to be nominated for the Eclipse Award, which he has already won 4 times since 2013 until 2016
The spaces LAST MINUTO LA RINCONADA by @sabatosports are fabulous, distributing winners, 10-8 with 7 first favorites and the second favorite of MY ROBBING MATE 16 to 1, closing with the tremendous first mark of Sabato NYMERIA in the last… Subscribe to our Channel from YouTube LOS DANGELO with hits like ASTUTO, CHAVIELA and they called us crazy because in the one we liked MISS CHARLOTTE we didn’t name a debutante at all and follow us on Twitter @JLDangeloDuran and on Instagram @joseluisdangeloduran there are the #DangelosPicks with the Dangelo Factor on of the high dividends, on Sunday night in Del Mar we hit a 1st Pick of $28.00 to win.
The Venezuelan rider JUNIOR ALVARADO received the important Mike Venezia Memorial Award, which is annually awarded by the NYRA to a different rider chosen by his fellow riders, equestrian journalists and fans, in attention to his sportsmanship and civic spirit. Award established in 1989 that was also previously won by Venezuelans Ramón Alfredo Domínguez in 2013 and Javier Castellano in 2019 and that honors the memory of the jockey Mike Venezia who died in a race accident at Belmont Park in 1988.
ARABIAN KNIGHT in a dramatic finale held off GEAUX ROCKET RIDE in the 2000 meters of the Pacific Classic G1 in Del Mar, California, as we wrote on our Twitter, a well-timed race and saved by the bell, taking revenge on GEAUX ROCKET RIDE who had just arrived 3rd in the Haskell, both three-year-olds looked very good and it is hoped that they will have a confrontation with ARCANGELO, until now the leader of the three-year-old generation and who rules on the other coast. The truth is that a three-year-old was able to win the Pacific following 9 years, since SHARED BELIEF in 2014. ARABIAN KNIGHT of Zedan Racing, trained by Bob Baffert and driven by Flavien Prat, is a son of UNCLE MO.
New surprise in classics for the two-year-old colts this 2023 in Saratoga closing the season in the Hopeful Stakes G1, the second least played, incidentally the second least expensive of the lot, NUTELLA FELLA 54 to 1 and which they bought for 12,000 dollars, with everything and delay In the game, finishing last, he surpassed them with the Junior from Venezuela, Junior Alvarado, to take the victory in a sensational way (a plus for the Mike Venezia award). Undefeated in 2, he debuted by winning in Delaware and now in Saratoga trained by Gary Contessa he became a G1 winner on the road.
Her father RUNHAPPY played the flute and her mother is a daughter of CANDY RIDE and maternal granddaughter of UNBRIDLED’S SONG. The third dam DREAMSCAPE is the same grandmother of BRIGHT FUTURE who on Saturday took another G1 in the same Saratoga and with another Venezuelan, the Jockey Club Gold Cup with Castellano.
And LA LUPA number 166 came out for the two-year-old LOCKED who got his first win on Friday in Saratoga following debuting third. Son of GUN RUNNER in ROSA SANTA, by MALIBU MOON, he looked very good and as trained by Todd Pletcher we hope that in his next race he will confirm the quality that he showed in this victory.
BRIGHTWORK guided by Irad Ortiz Jr maintained supremacy and her undefeated status as a 4-4 two-year-old holding off the prospect WAYS AND MEANS to win the Spinaway G1 at 1400 on Sunday in Saratoga, a daughter of OUTWORK, a stallion who also won this race last year with LEAVE NO TRACE and also maternal granddaughter of MALIBU MOON, trained by John Ortiz.
The Frenchman ZAGREY won the Grosser Preis von Baden G1 in 2400 meters at the Baden Baden Racecourse in Germany guided by Christophe Soumillon and trained by Yann Barberot, achieving the fifth victory in his 14-performance campaign. Son of the Frenchman ZARAK, another successful stallion from the Aga Khan Studs, son of the Irish giant DUBAWI, in the undefeated Irish champion ZARKAVA, five-time G1 winner and record horse that went on to beat the males at the Arc de Triomphe.
DETAILS. In the Travers TAPIT took the first 3 places with his maternal grandsons ARCANGELO, DISARM and his son TAPIT TRICE. In the Pacific UNCLE MO he did the trifecta with his son ARABIAN KNIGHT, his maternal grandson GEAUX ROCKET RIDE and his paternal grandson SLOW DOWN ANDY.
Cases and Things of Equestrianism. For the records. On Sunday at the second in Saratoga a family did the Superfecta. She won BON ADIEU with Katie Davis, second came MIM with her brother Dylan, third went to EMBARCEABLE GAL with her husband Trevor McCarthy and in fourth SWEET LIBERTY with Jackie the other Davis sister. This Superfecta paid $263.50 for $1.
On Saturday we learned the sad news of the departure of Annunzio Stanchieri, 40 years as a very successful breeder and owner with his Haras and Stud San Remo, starting shortly before with his Stud Lobatera and the performing horse El Teramano. The triple crowned POLO GROUNDS, and great runners like FAST MACAU, BOLINGE, DARIANNA, LA DE BIMBO, SKUKE, REMADOR and many others are successes of Haras San Remo. Almost 40 years ago I was the author of the slogan: Haras San Remo, you lose sight of it. Motto that he enjoyed very much. Our condolences to his son Mauro and other family members.
