Domenica 12 maggio Corse al Galoppo, Roma Capannelle
Mancano otto giorni al Derby day, il momento più alto e più atteso dal turf italiano. Capannelle sarà ovviamente palcoscenico e teatro della indimenticabile giornata. Prima tuttavia ancora una bella domenica da vivere con le corse e con i cavalli, oltre che con tutte le consuete manifestazioni collaterali che accompagnano i giorni di corse alle Capannelle. Sette corse, una listed, una maiden per i due anni, una per i tre, un Handicap Principale, una prova per i GR e in tutto cinque handicap.
Proprio una giornata da non perdere con una corsa in pista dritta, quattro in pista grande, due sul dirt e con distanze dai 1200 ai 2400 metri. La listed sui 1600 metri è congiuntamente dedicata a Patrizio Galli indimenticabile amico dell’ippica e degli allevatori, dirigeva proprio l’ufficio Unire che erogava i premi e le provvidenze. Il suo nome è legato, opportunamente, a quello di una campionessa di Dormello quale seppe essere Tadolina capace di vincere Elena e Oaks e di sfiorare la vittoria nel Parioli, sconfitta da Bauto con in sella Carlo Ferrari da poco scomparso. E’ stata anche la madre di un campione come Tierceron. Questa corsa è stata vinta lo scorso anno da Extremely Vintage ma prima da Mamma Ela, Aury Touch, Vague Nouvelle che vinse anche l’Elena, Lucky Serena, Sciolina, Magritte e Janestra, tutte ottime cavalle a conferma che la corsa ha il suo valore e spessore, inserita in un fil rouge rosa sul miglio che comprende anche il Milanese Royal Mares e di nuovo a Roma l’autunnale Buontalenta. Nella giornata il turf ricorda anche Paolo Addotta valente allenatore cui è stata dedicata la priva per i GR e Bruno Agriformi , meravigliosa cravache a segno nel derby con Antelami, nel Parioli con Arnaldo da Brescia e Fernet, nel Roma con Bacuco e Astese, nel Milano con Marco Visconti.
Gran bella corsa il Tadolina con dieci femmine al via e difficili da separare, soprattutto La Base, Close Your Eyes, Lady Ramon, Party Goer, Prigioniera, Secret Sharp, Tata Pila. Proprio una bella corsa. Come appunto la prova dedicata a Bruno Agriformi che è anche tris sui 2400 e con 12 tre anni al via tra i quali, è un HP, Juamento, Pas Des Chat, Full of Lying, Malibu Roan e tutti gli altri riequilibrati nella chance grazie alla scala dei pesi. Altra tris del pomeriggio il premio Sea Bird (fuoriclasse tra i massimi di tutti i tempi: Derby, Saint Cloud e Arco di Trionfo) con in campo dodici tre anni e oltre sui 1200 e sul dirt . Osservati speciali Il Moro, Diloal, La Principala, Orleans e Blaugrana. Affollata anche la prova per i maiden di tre anni con ben 14 al via sui 2000.

Dark Angel Filly Powers to Rising Stardom at Ascot
1st at ASC, Mdn, £10,400 | British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Fillies’ S. | (5f) | Winner: Final Song (Ire), f, 2 by Dark Angel (Ire) |
Final Song | Racing Post
With softened track conditions initiating a slew of withdrawals at Ascot, including that of Godolphin’s 850,000gns Tattersalls Craven topper Divine Spirit (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Saeed bin Suroor trainee Final Song (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) filled that void–and how–with a blistering performance to earn ‘TDN Rising Star’ status at the first attempt in the card’s opening maiden. The 5-2 chance was slick from the traps and wrested immediate control. In command throughout, she was allowed an inch of rein inside the quarter-mile marker and powered clear once shaken up approaching the final furlong to easily outclass Mrs Flanders (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) by an impressive five lengths. “It was a small field, but she was very professional and Saeed [bin Suroor] was very positive beforehand,” said winning passenger Oisin Murphy. “She’s a beautifully bred filly, she finished full of running and it looks like she’s got a big engine. Let’s hope she stays in one piece as she’s got an exciting future.”
Final Song is the latest foal and seventh winner out of G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches third Rahiyah (Rahy) and the homebred bay is a half to G3 Prix La Rochette runner-up Decathlete (Medaglia d’Oro) and Listed Prix Montenica runner-up Drummore (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). Rahiyah’s second dam is G1 Coronation S. heroine Golden Opinion (Slew o’ Gold), herself a daughter of MGSW G2 Nassau S. victress Optimistic Lass (Mr. Prospector).

KOREA, Seoul Saturday: Race-By-Race Preview (May 11)by gyongmaman |
It’s Derby Eve! There are 11 Saturday races at Seoul from 10:45 to 18:00. Here are the previews:
Race 1: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 24 Million
(6) SENTOSA has come by far the closest of these and looks set to start as firm favourite here. She’s the only one to hit the board so far and comes u following back to back 4thplaces in slightly stronger company than this. She may well lead all the way. It’s going to take a big improvement from anything else to beat her. (2) NAE GIRUI BIT has done nothing in six starts so far but did look good in an April trial so may improve while (3) HAENGBOGUI NAEIL has a 4th place to her name and should aim to beat it here. There is one debut-maker and in such a race it would be remiss not to give it a chance and (5) CHEONGSU BIG EAR put in a reasonable showing in a trial two weeks ago.
Selections | (6) Sentosa (2) Nae Girui Bit (5) Cheongsu Big Ear (3) Haengbogui Naeil |
Next Best | 4, 7 |
Fast Start | 2, 3, 6 |
Race 2: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 24 Million
(7) ROAD HILL STORM and (2) CHEONNYEONUI BARAM came home 3rd and 5th with less than a length between them when they raced each other at this distance on April 13th. Both come in here looking ready to go close and we’ll side with Cheonnyeonui Baram to overturn that form and get his maiden win. (1) SINBU led early but weakened on her latest start five weeks ago but looked sharp in a subsequent trial and should be on pace from the start here with claims to stay on this time (8) O PI M J and (9) KKAEUCHIM are others with potential for improvement.
Selections | (2) Cheonnyeonui Baram (7) Road Hill Storm (1) Sinbu (9) Kkaeuchim |
Next Best | 8, 10 |
Fast Start | 1, 2, 3, 5 |
Race 3: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million
(6) FEDERAL CAT didn’t live up to expectations when well-backed over 1300M n March 30th. He drops back in trip today and can be given another chance with Moon Se Young retaining the mount in what is an inferior contest. (8) LUXURY POWER ran a much improved 4th in a better race than this four weeks ago and can continue to make progress here while (3) KHAN ACE and (4) DAEGUN OK also find themselves in more amenable company today then they have faced so far and can improve. There are two debut-makers and while (7) BEST WOMAN’s trial time wasn’t quick, she ran 2nd in her heat and showed that she knows what she’s supposed to do.
Selections | (6) Federal Cat (8) Luxury Power (7) Best Woman (3) Khan Ace |
Next Best | 4, 1 |
Fast Start | 3, 7, 8 |
Race 4: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million
(1) GOLDEN ANGLE ran a close at hand 2nd on debut at this distance on April 13thhaving previously caught the eye in trials. He should have come on for that run and is strongly favoured to go one better today. He’ll try to come from behind an early pace that will most likely be set by (2) BAEKSANG, who significantly improved into 2nd place himself on what was his second start last month and who looks like the primary danger here. (3) JEONGJOUI KKUM should be on pace as well and drops back in distance after a decent effort at 1300M three weeks ago. Also dropping back is (10) NUNBIT EUNYAK, who was 3rd on debut at 1300 at the end of March. He’ll have to overcome the widest gate but should be a factor. There are two debut-makers and of the pair, Luigi Riccardi’s (6) DIAVOLA won a trial just last week and can go well first-up here.
Selections | (1) Golden Angle (2) Baeksang (6) Diavola (10) Nunbit Eunyak |
Next Best | 3, 9 |
Fast Start | 2, 3, 9 |
Race 5: Class 5 (1700M) Handicap / KRW 40 Million
(8) PLATINUM EURO was a winner on debut over 1300M on March 30th coming from just behind the early leader to run on well. He is up in class and distance here but looks to have potential for more. Despite the wide draw, he could well get a soft lead and is likely to be strong favourite here. Also up in class following a maiden win in (3) MAIN EVENT, however, it took him eighteen attempts to make his breakthrough and he likely has more to find. Instead the biggest danger may be (5) BARAM KING. A class and distance winner already, he was no better than ordinary when 6th in similar conditions last time out but can get closer today. (7) ADELEUI KKUM, with Busan-based Franco Da Silva aboard, looks best of the rest.
Selections | (8) Platimun Euro (5) Baram King (3) Main Event (7) Adeleui Kkum |
Next Best | 1 |
Fast Start | 8 |
Race 6: Class 4 (1700M) Allowance / KRW 60 Million
Small but competitive field. (5) HAPPY MAUNTAIN ran 3rd in a good race at class and distance on April 7th. He’s a runner who likes to come form off the pace and so long as he doesn’t leave himself too much to do here, he has solid claims. (4) SUN START and (2) ECHO GOLD come home 2nd and 3rd respectively when they raced each other at class and… Read more of this post
