In the women's competition, Shady Creek wins the Fontana Award
All 'Snai San Siro racecourse, in the penultimate midweek event of the season and awaiting the day of Saturday 18 with plans for St. Leger (Group III), the Giovanni Falck Award and Important Closure-Air Award, they were on stage 2 year old horses with four tests, while the other two, at the end of the meeting, were handicaps. Highlighted, in 47th day of gallop on Wednesday, the prizes Thoughts and words, maiden on 2200 meters reserved for male horses, and the Lavinia Fontana, the maiden for females only on the double kilometer distance on the medium track.
And we start with our report right from the first with the males characterized by the strong rhythm proposed by the outsider Amonte, he imposed himself at a high altitude Excellent Draco very suitable for the distance and the terrain from what we saw, overpowering the favorite Aramis to keep himself brilliantly at altitude, ahead of King Collector and an Ireneo who finished strong, like Neorion, to be kept good for the next ones. Among females, however, the arrival was much more conflicted, with Shady Creek who in the end was right, attacking well off everyone and undoubtedly improving on the encouraging debut on less selective distances and tracks; certainly worth following. Sopran Brescia also finished well by snatching the second coin from Tiki Ginger, who paid for the close fight he had previously engaged in with the winner; further behind Zebra and Your Dream.
The 2 year olds also had a couple of ordinary category nurseries available divided by distance. In the opening one for sprinters on the minimum distance and for the Low Pivot Award, Fox Red disappointed expectations, downgrading itself in the category, while on the contrary Via Electriano exalted itself on the terrain and on pure sprinting, solving it with total fluency and confirming once and for all that this is its specialty. On 1.500 meters, for the White Snow Award, it was brought home by Falcone, who after three second places in a row achieved his well-deserved victory, holding his own to the end with his usual leading behaviour; the en-plein of the Insubria Racing team was completed with the final recovery of La Vie In Rose on Blu Infinito.
A couple of handicaps completed the afternoon at the Snai San Siro racecourse in Milan. In the fair category test on 1.400 meters for the Horeion Directa Award, Gagliardo won, living up to his name by once again putting his concreteness on the plate, closing well at the distance in front of a strong-willed Affair D'Or and a rediscovered Griffe De Chat. In the closing one, for the King Concorde Award, ordinary category test for cross-country skiers over 2.600 meters, it was Mulan who asserted her strength by catching the fugitive Camulio.
Next day of galloping in Milan Saturday 18 with, among other races, also scheduled St. Leger (Group III), the Giovanni Falck Award and Important Closure-Air Award.
