Domenica 22 novembre Capanelle Roma Galoppo
Ultima domenica di altissima valenza tecnica alle Capannelle. Il gran congedo segna anche la chiusura del novembre al galoppo che ha vissuto il suo momento di massimo prestigio con la giornata del Roma Champions Day, cui ha fatto seguito il sabato imperniato sulla disputa del Criterium Femminile, del Rumon e del Capannelle. In attesa di un altro pomeriggio molto interessante, l’All Weather Christmas Day, con ottime dotazioni ovviamente sulla pista “all weather” e nell’imminenza del Natale. Durante tutti i mesi di dicembre 2020, gennaio e febbraio 2021 (possibili 14 giornate complessive) sarà solo la pista “all weather” ad animare l’attività, mentre da inizio marzo (con l’augurio che tutto proceda per il meglio) e fino ad inizio giugno prenderà vita la grande primavera romana, la stagione delle classiche.
Dunque apprestiamoci a vivere questa splendida domenica 22 novembre: otto corse in programma, due listed, un HP, una condizionata e tre perizie; questo il menu con ben sei corse sulla pista grande, giunta in splendida condizione alla fine del suo ciclo stagionale, e altre due corse sulla pista “all weather”. Quanto alle distanze, si va dai 1400 metri fino ai lunghi 2800 del Roma Vecchia. La listed sui 2800, nella sua versione moderna, cerca dunque il successore di Pretending che sarà in campo anche quest’anno. A contendergli il possibile bis, Aldrodovar, Allez Italye, Fambrus, Imsexyandiknowit, Oleksander, Pretending, Unique Diamond.
Un momento di sicura selezione sarà rappresentato dal Buontalenta (lega il suo nome anche al ricordo di Giuseppe Valiani), una delle grandi fattrici dell’allevamento Italiano ed in particolare della razza Spineta, tra le poche ad aver prodotto due vincitori di Derby, vale a dire Braccio da Montone e Bonconte da Montefeltro. Interessante cercare di capire chi potrà succedere a Party Goer, nobile laureata dello scorso anno. Prima di lei Isole Canarie, Sadilla, Reset in Bluu, Aury Touch, So Many Shots, Dark Ray fino a Quiza Quiza Quiza , Les Fazzani e Step Dancer. Ecco quindi pronte Chiaro di Luna, Dorotea, Haven Park, Ifrachy, Musa d’Oriente, Romance D’Amour, Stella di Mantova, Visions.
Poi il miglio del Nearco, il cavallo del secolo, arriva dopo il recuperato Natale di Roma come il Signorino, Piazzale, il Di Capua, il Ribot e il Chiusura. La formula HP consente anche di rimescolare le carte grazie alla distribuzione della scala dei pesi. Siamo alla ricerca del successore di Sergio Leone, oscar dello scorso anno. Nove protagonisti in campo tra i quali spiccano i nomi di Villabate, Spirit Noir, Only Time, Amyntas e Excelegrif.
Un pomeriggio da non perdere (di qualità anche la condizionata femminile sui 2000), anche se a porte chiuse, fruibile attraverso gli schermi o il web.
Le corse a Capannelle si svolgeranno a porte chiuse ma i servizi di bar e ristorazione all’interno dell’Ippodromo saranno aperti nel rispetto delle norme di contenimento del coronavirus.
Si ricorda che come da nuovo Dpcm 24 ottobre, contenente le nuove misure per fronteggiare l’emergenza epidemiologica da Covid-19, le sale scommesse all’interno dell’Ippodromo resteranno chiuse.

Galoppo Siracusa. Tra Criterium D’autunno e il recuperato Premio Mediterraneo
Gran bel convegno di galoppo, con 80 cavalli schierati, è in programma sabato 21 Novembre al Mediterraneo di Siracusa. Si recupera il ben frequentato HP Premio Mediterraneo e si apre con un generoso Criterium d’Autunno riservato ai giovanissimi.
La prima corsa scatterà alle 12:55 e proietterà i giovanissimi atleti di due anni sui 1500 metri di pista grande per un Criterium d’Autunno che è corsa di preparazione alla Criterium dell’Immacolata del 8 dicembre. Charlie’s Jamboree ha subito vinto e convinto alla prima apparizione aretusea e si propone come valido avversario rispetto l’allieva di Vincenzo Caruso Adaay Secret, estremamente positiva. Pochi, ma buoni, tutti hanno la loro chance.
La conclusione del convegno affidata, poi, ad una Tris-Quartè-Quintè legata al recuperato Premio Mediterraneo che chiama al confronto cavalli anziani sui 1400 metri di pista grande. Temutissimo Repton, reduce da due vittorie consecutive e che lancia la linea con Swift Approval, Imperial State e Dream Painter. Accompagnati da buona stima sia Cracking Art che American Coffee. Potrebbero, invece, sfruttare al meglio il pesino Royal Victory e Bungle Experience. Si attende corsa combattuta.
Il palinsesto ippico offre, alla quarta competizione, una Condizionata di preparazione al Memorial Faraci. Sui selettivi 2300 metri di pista grande, sono schierati soprattutto Immortal Romance, il regolare Saint Steven e il potenziale di Neileta.
Convegno reso affascinante anche dalle tante novità messe in campo dalle scuderie, che potrebbero rendere imprevedibili alcuni confronti.
Goffs will offer H.H. The Aga Khan’s Ebendi next Tuesday in a single horse online sale. The three-year-old son of Le Havre was due to be sold in the recent Goffs Autumn Horses-In-Training Sale but was withdrawn after being cast in his stable. Ebendi was a winner of a Killarney Maiden in July before finishing runner up at the Curragh behind subsequent Breeders Cup winner Order Of Australia.
Ebendi should appeal to a variety of markets and the sale will take place in a timed format, with online bidding opening at 10.00 on Tuesday (24 November) and closing two hours later at 12.00 midday.
Ebendi will be offered with a reserve price of €60,000 and prospective purchasers should register to bid online with Goffs by 5.00 pm on Monday 23 November. Click here to register.

There are 12 races at Seoul on Saturday from 10:45 to 18:00. The meeting is open to the public but attendance must be booked in advance through the “MyCard” app. Here are the previews:
Race 1: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 25 Million
We’ve watched plenty of trials putting together the preview for the first event as all twelve runners are on debut! (10) ILHANG DALMA goes on top on the strength of her trial. The Simon Pure two-year-old jumped well out of the gates and was not pushed out entirely, just hands and heels from Kim Ok-sung who will partner her on debut. She clocked a good time and she was professional in her actions. Gyeongbudaero filly (3) GLORY KHAN clocked a good time when qualifying, she was green up the straight with her rider having to change hands with the whip as she had a tendency to lay in. If she puts it all together she looks a winning chance. (6) LONDON QUEEN looks to stride out nicely and responded to the persuader in good style in her heat. She is another each way chance based on her trial performance. (7) TEUKGWON was another who looked good in her trial and a forward showing would not surprise.
Race 2: Class 6 (1200M) Allowance / KRW 25 Million
Competitive looking maiden but (4) THE KING BLADE did enough on debut when 2nd behind a very fast looking Oxford King to warrant top pick here. That was all the way back in July but he looked in good shape when trialing up two weeks ago and the additional furlong may benefit. After an inauspicious debut in February, (5) SAENAMUI BYEOL seemed to benefit from the enforced hiatus as he returned for the summer season looking much more like a racehorse and recorded a 2nd and 3rd. The latter was at this distance and he led until the closing stages. He’ll be on pace again and should go close. (8) ACE PRINCE also had a promising summer campaign and looks nicely in to at least challenge for the places here. (9) ROSEDAY MARINE and (12) GEUMA COLOSSAL are others who can go close.

Race 3: Class 6 (1200M) Allowance / KRW 25 Million
The Korean-bred maidens will line up over the 1200m in the third event. The improvement from (5) GRAY CAT was noticed last start when sitting closer to speed before finishing third clocking a good time for this grade. Song Jae-chul can navigate from a suitable gate, position him in the first few in running before unleashing at the top of the straight. (10) MYEONGJIN DAY debuted in good style last month finishing third behind Grand Castle. The Any Given Saturday colt has been dealt a blow with a wide draw, with some natural improvement however he should be treated as a winning chance. (3) MILLENNIUM POWER finished third on debut when trying to lead throughout. The three-year-old looks the likely leader and it will be a case of whether there’s enough improvement to allow him to hold on. (4) NONSTOP WINNING has the five starts under his belt, yielding two minor placings including a third at his last start. He gets some relief in the weights with Lim Da-bin being legged aboard on Saturday.

(5) Gray Cat (10) Myeongjin Day (3) Millennium Power (4) Nonstop Winning

Race 4: Class 5 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 40 Million
(3) TANK SOCKS receives no penalty for her win at class and distance back on October 16th and looks nicely in to score again. That win had been coming with two runner-up finishes preceding it and she can come from off the pace and finish strongly here. (11) RAON BLOOD is also a class and distance winner having led from gate to wire back in August. She was a bit ordinary when 7th of 14 a month ago but if she can overcome the wide draw to get to her favoured forward position today, then she is in with a shout. (5) SUPER LUCKY BOY has already shown that he can be competitive at this level and is likely to be on speed early from a good draw. (7) HANIL MOA is up in class following a fast win on what was a wet-assisted track. She will need to improve if she is to challenge for the win here but could aim for some minor money.
Selections
(3) Tank Socks (11) Raon Blood (5) Super Lucky Boy (7) Hanil Moa

Race 5: Class 6 (1300M) Allowance / KRW 25 Million
Korean-bred maidens once again in the fifth where they will go over the 1300m. (9) MORNING NEWS is the on top selection after finishing second on debut. The Federalist filly exhibited a good turn of foot on debut coming from a midfield position to finish second behind Mir Captain. The extra half-furlong should be beneficial to her chances. (5) EUNHYE PADO showed improvement at her third start back in August. She hit the line strong over the 1200m with Park Eul-woon in the saddle, he will partner the daughter of Tiz Wonderful once again. (3) GANGHWA CHEONYEO had had six starts to date yielding just the one minor placing, which came last start back in August. She was given time to find her feet on that occasion before hitting the line in good style. There are quite a few backmarkers in this race who wouldn’t want to get too far back. (4) SUN WINNER looks next best after finishing fourth last time out back in August when one paced through the line.
