Next meeting Wednesday afternoon
“Routine” Sunday afternoon, at least on paper, atSnai la Maura racecourse. Instead it was a nice meeting there 6th season on the Milanese circuit, which saw the most equipped test in Chris Evert Treb Award reserved for 4 year old horses over the mile distance. With And if tomorrow, the young Simone Mollo did a "disgrace" to dad Santo by beating the favorite Ekarin Baba who had spent a lot to defend the lead from Everqueen, but then was able to catch her breath by drastically "stopping" the pace to complete half the race in a very comfortable 1.03: but Marco Smorgon's student today was in the extra-luxury version and with 600 final assaults (in 41.8) she knew how to clearly gain the upper hand over the expected peer, standing out in 1.15.3, an average which says little but which is the result of melina of the first part of the race. An excellent viaticum in view of the announced French trip at the beginning of February. Everqueen, another protagonist of the initial sprint, finished third by a few points.
The Marco Smorgon-Simone Mollo connection granted an encore in the Ayrton Treb Award, the mile test starting between the ribbons for cat. G that changed its face with the error in the initial phase of the favorite D'Artagnan Bar: Alonso then tried to anticipate by moving and breaking through after 600 metres, but in the final 400 meters Cristian Rizzo's horse was subjected to a decisive attack by Drujba, which clearly took the upper hand in the straight line with an average of 1.16.7. Alonso, despite falling, saved second place from Zafira's finish, while an unlucky Juanito Gobertn missed a straight line when he would have fought for a good placing.
Santo Mollo enriched the family loot by establishing himself in the Nicholson Treb Award, the opening test reserved for 3-year-old horses looking for their first victory. The winning move of the driver of Calabrian origins was to force himself at the start to make room behind the pacesetter Flash Italia in the initial phase: from there, Favola Bar returned to the attack on the last corner, managing to tame his rival right at the wire , with an average of 1.15.8. Third place for Frank Bieffe, the others fouled along the way.
The sub-highlight was the Brando's Treb Award and featured the gentlemen in sulky 3-year-old horses with the total dominance of the favorite Fedora Degli Dei: Fausto Barelli's mare led by Otello Zorzetto implemented a perfect "stop and go" by overtaking the declared rival Frecciarossa Cast in the launch, covering a calm km in 1.16.8 and then turning on the turbo to win clearly with an average of 1.14.5 (demolished the previous personal one). Frecciarossa Cast could only watch the tail of its rival and had to settle for the best place, while Fighter in its climb clashed with the winner's change of pace and did not go beyond third place.
Il Excalibur Treb Award, the claim on the 1650 meters with yield of meters for older horses, saw the success of Zephyrus Gm: the son of Ideale Luis spent to gain the lead of the race after a sustained half lap, continued without sparing himself reaching the km in 1.14, then logically went in trouble in the 250 final but his interpreter Andrea Farolfi's calculations turned out to be right because the horse trained by Cosimo Cangelosi managed to evade the run-up of the penalized Continental Ek, maintaining a one-head advantage over his rival. Average of 1.15.8 over 1650 meters for the winner: on the decline of the lurking Vicky Cup, it was Benvenuto Dl who emerged in third place ahead of Cara Stella: Doki Doki had made a mistake in the initial phase, Cheyenne Gar in the final 600 while she was progressing well on the first positions.
After the victory in the gentlemen 11 days ago, Ector Zl conceded an encore in Nancy's Treb Award, the conditioning on 1650 meters for 4-year-old horses: Mauro Baroncini's pupil from the second team attacked in the final 600, soon got rid of the pacesetter Emmaday Prav and ranged with an average of 1.13.9, giving Tommaso Di Lorenzo the first success after returning to the track. Emmaday Prav, thanks to the initial partial spent to gain the lead, fell clearly in a straight line and so Enea Leon Sm finished in front of Ethel del Ronco.
Unlucky in their last outing, Bon Jovi Jet and Andrea Ferrara redeemed themselves in Letter Bomb Treb Award, the test for cat horses. E/F with the students in sulky where the favorite Di Re Dr was forced to make a costly outing against the opposition of Donata Indal, determined to run in the lead: Fausto Barelli's horse got rid of her rival on the last curve and tried the defended but in line, under the attack of Bon Jovi Jet, it fell apart, leaving the victory to Gocciadoro's horse, with an average of 1.14.6.
