He racecourse A new calendar sheet was released this Friday with the presence of first fans in the stands, although very few were encouraged to pay a ticket. Business day in the morning is not the best formula to attract people, but if we add to this the lack of mobility in the venue, the cocktail for the fan is devastating. The mayor of Donostia, Eneko Goia, present at the conference, promised to try to unblock the situation so that in future sessions the public can enjoy the conference in the usual way, without having to remain in their seats.
The first applause of the season went to ‘My Flinders’, winner of the appointment prior to the María Cristina grand prize. Guillermo Arizkorreta’s mare added his third consecutive victory in its first appearance of the year, continuing the progress it showed in the fall. José Luis Martínez, who gave him a clever point course, was delighted with the performance of the mare: “I liked it a lot”, he declared in the winners paddock. After winning for the first time on two corners, his next step should be at the beginning of the Big Week, although Arizkorreta did not dare to ensure his presence at the event.
Liked it a lot ‘Gnily’, who, giving up an important weight, threatened to win for a good part of the straight. Marc Comas warned that he was not like when he won a Quinté Handicap in winter, so his performance becomes more relevant. She does have the meters, and now housed in Donostia, will multiply your options in the great mare race. Maybe there you could meet ‘Lakial’, the big favorite of the day, which confirmed all the good that he showed in his debut with another incontestable victory. He left much more relaxed than in Madrid, which was not an impediment for him to go from penultimate to first on the straight as soon as Ricardo Sousa wanted, which ended with a lot of mare.
Favorites meet
It was a day dominated mostly by favorites. Starting by ‘Merisi’, who won on a ride with his owner Diego Sarabia in the chair. In his three San Sebastian outings he has shown many arguments, and if health respects him, he is in a position to move up the category. The two rounds of the handicap had the most exciting arrivals. Sousa, just as he did a few weeks ago with ‘Nyala’He won a photo arriving on the last breath. His mastery allowed ‘Urban Rock’ hunting an ‘Orri’ who was always the winner. The arrival of the third, with up to four horses fighting for the victory, was a beautiful postcard in which she finished first. ‘Beautiful Baroness’, which had a great leadership by Nicolás de Julián.
