In barely thirty years, Aignan, Vic-Fezensac’s younger sister, was able to acquire her titles of nobility and rise to the most demanding level. This Sunday, March 31, 2024, the small and friendly arenas of the Gers city will serve as the setting for a bullfight that many aficionados from beyond the Pyrenees must often dream of. The legendary toros of Don Baltasar Iban will be in the Aignan arena.
This ganaderia has triumphed over the last two years, particularly in Vic where it won the prize for the best bullfight in the South-West awarded by the South-West section of the Critiques Taurins Français. Thanks to these good results, the very famous Escorial breeding will be present in Madrid for the San Isidro. Reason why he will be absent at Vic-Fezensac. To go to Madrid, you have to go not with six bulls, but with twice as many, because the veterinary examination there is so strict. However, the breeding having a limited number of bulls, this prevents it from being able to serve several 1st category arenas.
On the other hand, they will be in Aignan and the next day in Mugron in novillada piqué. The livestock will in no way be downgraded livestock, but livestock may be less uniform in presentation. All aficionados know that bullfighting has nothing to do with agricultural shows.
What matters is what the bulls have in their heads and not on them. Furthermore, even if the toros of Aignan do not come from the same lineage as those of Madrid, everyone knows that genetic selection is not an exact science. In short, the Taurine Easter presents itself under the best omens.
It will all start at 11 a.m. with a novillada without picador. Four “erales” (two-year-old bulls) from the Camino de Santiago (Domecq origin) and four from Astarac (Pedrajas origin) will be fought by Hadrien Lucq and Jairo Lopez.
At 5 p.m., three matadors and not the least will be at the cartel.
The very classic Uceda Leal, at 47 years old, this great maestro, is one of the oldest in the current escalafon, has numerous awards and was declared triumphant of Madrid 2023 by the Dinastia Bienvenida circle. His cartel colleague will be Dorian Canton, a Béarnais matador who trains with him in Madrid, and Cristian Parejo, a young Andalusian matador from Chiclana and adopted Biterrois, very favorably known to the French public.
Happy Easter everyone!
