This Sunday, November 21, at the Zarzuela Racecourse We will have a new day of horse racing, with five exciting events. The venue will open its doors at 11 in the morning. In this quote the mythical Block Rosales and its owner Antonio Blasco in the most outstanding award of the morning, as a reference of the most brilliant era of horse racing in Spain.
From the 70s to the end of the 80s, the great team formed by Blasco as owner, Claudio Carudel, his jockey from 1972 to 1987, and Fulgencio de Diego, his coach from 1965 to 1982, raised passions in the stands and created great fans by spreading enthusiasm to locals and strangers.
The Block Rosales, with his yellow jacket with the Red Saint Andrew’s Cross, he won the owner statistics fifteen times, from 1971 to 1988, won the San Sebastián Gold Cup three times and in nnine times the Madrid Grand Prix, in addition to his triumphs at foreign racetracks.
Antonio Blasco He based his project on the breeding of thoroughbreds that he started in the Yeguada de Aranjuez in the 50s, going on to the Venta de la Rubia at the beginning of the 70s. The Rosales project could not be understood either without the support and push of his wife, Marita villalonga, who in 1955 registered the colors of the Cuadra Rosales and later transferred it to her husband. In 1971, the work began to bear fruit with great champions who triumphed for forty years (between 1953 and 1993, the most golden age of racing in our country) at Spanish and foreign racetracks.
Some of the most prominent thoroughbreds were Sultan El Yago, Travertine, My Morne, Takala, Jackal, Dual Sea, Tukumán, Barilone or Pharly as winner of a Group 1, highlighting Teresa, the extraordinary mare unbeaten in Spain at two and three years, who became a myth in the second half of the 80s and in France was considered the best modern ambassador of the Rosales, who after participating in the Arc de Triomphe they came to offer 130 million pesetas that Antonio Blasco did not accept.
The day
The morning will start at 11:30 am, with the Premio Marita Villalonga (Made in Spain), for foals and two-year-old fillies that have not won, distance of 1,500 meters. Seven participants at the starting pole. The one I like the most is Bravo, has appeared in the trio in his five outings, he is the most experienced and he has a beautiful opportunity to finally pass as winners. As the main rival I see Galiwest, in his two performances he has seen the potential to be very dangerous. Decals It could also be very close, he liked it a lot in his second race and he has improvement. As a surprise I like Aracena, only one exit but left details that indicate it could be dangerous.
The second race will be the Chance Award, for 3-year-old colts and fillies that have not won a prize of 12,000 euros, over the distance of 1,800 meters. Ten participants. My favorite is going to be philau, More was expected from his previous one, but he drops in level and has a good opportunity to meet again. Cobreces He did not have a clean course in his last performance and here he has room for progress. Ussía disappointed in his second outing of the year after his victorious comeback, it won’t be far behind. Yoda master He is very fit and has a release that makes him very dangerous, you also have to count on him.
In third place the Sultan El Yago Award, split handicap second part for horses and mares from 3 years old onwards, distance of 1,800 meters. Thirteen hopefuls for victory. Nader He is keeping the type with age, he comes out very in weight, I see him again in the fight. Ramiriqui He comes from winning and the rise in handicap is recovered with the release of Vicky Alonso, all to be there again. La Frisla He also comes from winning, he is very fit and you can see that he can repeat. In Calobra he is showing form and carries the high weight well, he will not walk very far.
The fourth race will be the Fulgencio De Diego Award, (Lototurf support) split handicap first part for horses and mares 3 years and older, distance of 1,800 meters. Twelve candidates for victory. I like it MayselAfter his great two-year debut, in his two starts this year he has not confirmed expectations, but I think that here he has a good opportunity to make up for himself. Tihanna he is showing to appear and the increase in distance benefits him, in addition, the discharge can be decisive. My Flinders He does the distance very well, he was registered to run a Listed this week, he will be in the fight. Lily of the valley She comes from winning showing her form and although the distance may be long, we see her there again.
The Antonio Blasco Grand Prize, (Sponsored by Aquanina), Made In SpainN, will close the day in fifth place, for horses and mares 2 years and older. Eleven hopefuls for victory under the orders of the starter, from the 1,400-meter pole. The race goes through Turbot, he has proven to be superior to his rivals and should continue to enhance his record. The tricky thing is knowing who will escort you to the finish line. Alnasherat He impressed on his debut in Spain and then disappointed in the next one, with the value of his presentation he would count a lot again. Prince Hamlet He should not have lost in the Basque Government and he comes with meritorious positions in Longchamp, he will not make it easy at all. hangover He has a magnificent autumn, he won this race in 2018, again on arrival. The surprise could be Iron DukeHe is a winner in the distance and he showed off this summer in Sanlúcar, although a priori, he seems inferior, I think he will do very well.
