Third, the ROBERTO LÓPEZ AWARD (CLAIM), for horses and mares 3 years and older to sell. Nine participants from the 1,400 meter pole. Viceroy It stands out for value, but strange to see it in a claim, it has a first choice anyway.

Abu he won the Derby last year, he has the courage to contest the victory, but he has just recovered from an injury and has not run since last August, we must see him again. Kosciuszko He is very regular, he has three wins in his last four outings, he will not make it easy.
