22/03/2019. Roma Capanelle, Galoppo, Domenica 24 marzo // IPPODROMO DEL MEDITERRANEO, SIRACUSA, PARTENTI CORSE DEL 23/03/19 // KOREA : Seoul Saturday: Race-By-Race Preview (March 22 e 23)

 

Roma Capanelle, Galoppo, Domenica 24 marzo

Riparte il rito, la tradizione che da oltre 130 anni accompagna gli appassionati romani attraverso la stagione più bella dell’anno si rinnova meravigliosamente anche in questo 2019. Non si può immaginare un’ippica senza Capannelle e il suo grande galoppo. 

Le domeniche e le festività sono un classico appuntamento a cui il vero appassionato non può certo mancare. Il galoppo, il grande galoppo è cultura, tradizione, spettacolo, aggregazione stupenda.

Sarà così anche questa volta e intanto ecco che c’è subito questa domenica da gustare a pieno anche se qualche corsa di spessore e selezione, solo per questa occasione, è stata trasferita altrove.

È Capannelle, con la sua insostituibile pista che ha fatto la storia del Turf, a fare grande una corsa e dunque ecco che più di un buon motivo ci spinge a vivere anche questa prima festa della Primavera, con tutte le manifestazioni collaterali che come sempre fanno parte integrante dello spettacolo dell’ippodromo a cominciare dalla apertura della Terrazza Derby. Le corse ovviamente innanzitutto. Tre anni in cerca già di un primo passaporto sulla distanza impegnativa , con un retro pensiero ancora lontano per la madre di tutte le corse, si misureranno nel premio che ricorda un immenso campione, un gigante delle piste quale è stato Brigadier Gerard, sconfitto solo una volta drammaticamente ma capace di primeggiare sublime dai 1200 fino ai 2400 passando per le Middle Park, le Ghinee, le Champion e le King George. Un motivo in più per i protagonisti per provare ad essere degni di tanto fuoriclasse.

Nelle gabbie saranno in sette e tutti con la giusta pretesa di alzare successivamente la asticella. Frozen Juke è il laureato del Rumon autunnale ma al rientro napoletano ha subito il ben cresciuto Gates of Horn che ritrova. My Tallyè il campione di Siracusa dove ha vinto il Criterium Ibleo e sale per misurarsi. Bel Ami è quinto del Berardelli ma aveva vinto Le Marmore e dunque merita considerazione come gli altri che sono After StormDottor No e Sei Tu.Per il vincitore si apriranno le porte del Botticelli almeno.

Il Donatello (altro Campione assoluto, creato dal genio di Federico Tesio e capace di finire secondo nel gran prix de Paris dopo aver vinto alle Capannelle il Derby) è da sempre, come il milanese Gardenghi la corsa chic per i tre anni al debutto assoluto. Talvolta ci scappa anche il buon cavallo. Chissà che non accada questa volta. Lo sapremo al termine della stagione e intanto in questa corsa saranno in nove. Capannelle ha la lodevole tradizione di dare alle sue corse i nomi di grandi cavalli, è questa una delle tante possibili dimostrazioni di come si può fare cultura nel nostro sport, le radici sono il viatico per rinnovarsi e migliorare.

Ecco allora spazio al ricordo di un derby winner di Epsom come Shirley Heights, ad un laureato di derby irlandese come Ribero e ad un fondista memorabile come Sagaro più volte a bersaglio nella Coppa d’oro di Ascot. In particolare il pomeriggio ci regala una condizionata, una maiden anche questa sui 1800 come il Donatello e con ben 14 in corsa, una prova per esordienti ovvero il Donatello, tre handicap con cinque volte in azione la pista grande in erba e una quella all weather.

Tre volte saranno i tre anni a scendere in campo mentre le distanze andranno dai 1500 fino ai 2000 metri e la media per corsa che a Capannelle è sempre una ragione di distinzione è di ben 11 cavalli. Naturalmente, come da tradizione, ecco anche le corse tris. Il premio Sagaro in pista grande sui 1800 per anziani sarà TQQ e con in luce Pepao in alto e Mujahidofcaffeina in basso con anche FranchettoSlowpoke e Cascio Indiavolato. Seconda tris invece sui 160 e sul dirt con 12 in gabbia tra cui My Only HopeComiso SoulToudussacKibet e Spagna. Buon divertimento!

Prossimo appuntamento con il galoppo venerdì 29 marzo

 

IPPODROMO DEL MEDITERRANEO, SIRACUSA, PARTENTI DICHIARATI PER LE CORSE DEL 23 – 03 – 19, INIZIO RIUNIONE ORE 15.15

 

Due condizionate le centrali di sabato 23 marzo. 

Due condizionate, divise per età, impegnano i più qualitativi atleti di stanza all’Ippodromo del Mediterraneo di Siracusa, sabato 23 marzo. 

Il Premio Mallus chiama i giovani cavalli di 3 anni a concorrere sui 1200 metri della pista piccola. È la prima condizionata da affrontare programmata alla terza corsa del palinsesto ippico siracusano.  Temutissima Royal Victory che ha dimostrato già di saper vincere. Nominate con particolare stima dai team, come valide avversarie, Sharming Filly, Sopran Atena e Super Emma che, dopo una parentesi napoletana, torna nella sua terra di conquista.

La successiva quarta corsa, Premio Oldstock impegna, sul doppio Km di pista sabbia, i cavalli di quattro anni e oltre. Specialisti del dirt contro la qualità di Guapo, Dreamstime e Immortal Romance capaci di cambiare tracciato. Chance per Special Rush, Sopran Cosmic e l’atteso Kobal Koral.

Abbinata all’ippica nazionale la quinta corsa, Premio Pindaro, che impone 1400 metri della pista piccola a 10 cavalli di quattro anni e oltre. Una competizione aperta con tanti cavalli dal buon potenziale che trovano, come prima avversaria, la propria non brillantissima forma. Particolarmente atteso Rockaroundtheclock, mentre sono temutissimi, per i buoni mezzi a disposizione, Kiss me Quiet e Embloui Moi.

Apertura delle prime gabbie alle 15:15, con il Premio Fierissima dove, sui previsti 1700 metri di pista grande, spicca la qualità di Perla dell’Etna.

KOREA : Seoul Saturday: Race-By-Race Preview (March 23)

by gyongmaman

There are 12 races at Seoul on Saturday from 10:45 to 18:00.

RH7_8728 

Race 1: Class 6 (1300M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million

(3) BLACK PARTY was sent off as an odd-on favourite at this distance on February 24thhaving finished 2nd in a similar race a month earlier. She took a bump at the start and ultimately ended up a slightly disappointing 4th. She looks like she has some talent though and she gets another chance today. (4) TAP LINE ran 2nd on debut on February 23, coming from off the pace and finishing nicely over 1000M. Up in trip today, he can be a big danger. (8) BLADE STORM has finished no worse than 3rd in three outing so far and can maintain that record here while (10) SUHO – who has started at precisely 58.5 on the Korean tote in both outings to date, improved last time despite displaying poor racing manners throughout and may play a role. Of the three debut-makers, (6) CHOEGANG MAGIC looks the best at this stage.

Selections (3) Black Party (4) Tap Line (6) Choegang Magic (8) Blade Storm
Next Best 10, 1
Fast Start 3, 8, 9, 10

Race 2: Class 5 (1000M) Handicap / KRW 40 Million

(11) HAE WANG got promoted to this class with a pair of 2nd places either side of the turn of the year. He didn’t go well at 1300M a month ago but must be given another chance back down at the minimum today. (1) MENI SMART is two starts into a comeback following a lengthy period away. She’s run 6th in both of those but drops back to 1000M and from the inside gate should be on pace early. She should get much closer. (10) NONSTOP FLYING is up in class having made all to win at this distance at the end of January. This is stiffer but she should be competitive. (3) CHEONROK unseated her rider a month ago but has some ability and looks nicely in here. (12) DAECHEON HERO another with placing chances.

Selections (11) Hae Wang (1) Meni Smart (10) Nonstop Flying (3) Cheonrok
Next Best 12, 6
Fast Start 1, 10, 11, 12

Race 3: Class 5 (1300M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

This is a strong filly-only race for the level and that means (10) LUCKY BONGSEONG, a winner on debut over 1000M three weeks ago and accordingly up in class and distance, will have to improve significantly if she is to compete. (1) GREEN SARANG scored at class and distance in a fast time on a very wet track on February 3rd. He carries an additional 4kg this time but is well drawn to get forward early and can repeat. To do that though, he’ll have to hold off that day’s runner-up (6) MAMMA ROMA. Luigi Riccardi’s filly subsequently came back out three weeks later to run 2nd again and this time she can go one better. (7) MUNG CHI and (2) SUPER YEOWANG, 3rd and 4th respectively in that latter race, are others in the hunt although a bigger danger may be (3) UDAERYUNG, 5thin a similar strength race to this over 1000M a month ago and who steps up in trip for the first time here seemingly with plenty of improvement left in her.

Selections (6) Mamma Roma (1) Green Sarang (10) Lucky Bongseong (3) Udaeryung
Next Best 7, 2
Fast Start 1, 2, 4, 10

Race 4: Class 6 (1700M) Allowance / KRW 24 Million

(8) MYEONGMA JILJU stepped up to this trip on February 23rd and recorded his best finish to date, running 2nd and beating plenty of these in the process. With that day’s winner safely out of the way, he’s favoured to go one better today. (6) CHEONSE MANSE was 3rd in that race, despite his jockey dropping his whip with two furlongs to go and should be a big danger. (2) BINNANEUN RUBY and (3) RAON JEWANG both enter with recent form reading well and shouldn’t be too far away. (12) GEUMA SUPREME has races just twice before, at 1000M and 1300M, finishing in 5th place on both occasions. He’s been steadily away both time and finishing off well and the step up in trip may suit.

Selections (8) Myeongma Jilju (12) Geuma Supreme (3) Raon Jewang (6) Cheonse Manse
Next Best 2, 7
Fast Start 4, 10

Race 5: Class 5 (1700M) Handicap / KRW 40 Million

(1) ENDURANCE got his maiden win at the fourth time of asking over 1300M three weeks ago. He’s up in class and distance today but has claims on a repeat. (2) BULHUUI MYEONGGOG is already a class and distance winner having prevailed in a very similar strength race to this in January. He went up in the weights as a result and finished 4th on re-appearance last month and today an apprentice jockey cancels out that weight and he should be back close again. The experienced (11) LAST JACKPOT has finished 3rd in each of his latest two, both and 1700M and should be close while both (10) JEONGSANG YEOSIN and (12) MYEONGJIN MAN come in with the recent form looking encouraging and they can compete for at least a place.

Selections (1) Endurance (2) Bulhuui Myeonggog (11) Last Jackpot (10) Jeongsang Yeosin
Next Best 12, 8
Fast Start 1, 6

Race 6: Class 4 (1300M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

A winner of two from four and 3rd in the other two, (2) YAHO THUNDER CAT is up in class today and despite racing at further than five furlongs for the first time, looks to be the one to beat. The other standout is (9) GONG SAN. A class and distance winner in December, she’s run well for 4th and 2nd in two subsequent starts. She’s not the fastest of starters so needs to make sure she’s not caught behind traffic but if she gets a clear run, she can win. (3) EAST KINGDOM was very disappointing on his latest appearance in December. He has talent though and may be better for the three months he’s had off with a good trial outing last week a positive sign. (6) BEYOND OVER drops back in trip and can improve while (11) GEUMA GLORY is another who can challenge for a place.

Selections (2) Yaho Thunder Cat (9) Gong San (3) East Kingdom (6) Beyond Over
Next Best 11, 5
Fast Start 2, 4, 11

Race 7: Class 4 (1700M) Allowance / KRW 60 Million

(1) MIGHTY M has run well in all three starts so far and today’s step up in trip could be just what he needs to make his breakthrough. Moon Se Young climbs aboard for the first time and he looks nicely in here. (2) HWANSANG STAR has been runner-up in each of his latest two, the latter of which was at this distance, and he will be a threat again, most likely getting an easy early lead. (6) ECHO GOLD and (3) MAJJABEUN SON came home 3rdand 4th respectively when they raced at class and distance on February 24th. There was just over half a length between them that day and both should be looking to at least match those finishes today. (8) CHANGE MAKER has shown some promise in three outings so far. The Aussie import tackles two-turns for the first time here and it may suit.

Selections (1) Mighty M (2) Hwansang Star (8) Change Maker (6) Echo Gold
Next Best 3, 7
Fast Start 2

Race 8: Class 4 (1700M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

(9) CHARON BLADE has two wins and two runner-up finishes from four starts so far. She’s up not only in class here, but also significantly in trip, having not raced at any further than 1300M (and she didn’t win that). She looks to have solid potential and if she gets the trip, she has every chance of winning. (10) MIGHTY MAMBO will get the trip. He comes in having finished well for 2nd last time out at class and distance. (3) HAMBAK MISO ran 4thin that same race, his first try at 1700M and can have come on for it. (5) GRAND DOLPUNG ran 3rd at this distance on a wet track on what was his first try at this level last month. He’ll challenge Charon Blade for the early lead and can be a danger. (4) MONEY POCKET had a hard time on her first class and distance attempt in the same race behind Grand Dolpung, but hopefully learned a little from that and can improve today – his dam at one point held the 1800M track record here so the distance shouldn’t be a problem.

Selections (9) Charon Blade (3) Hambak Miso (10) Mighty Mambo (5) Grand Dolpung
Next Best 4, 6
Fast Start 5, 9

Race 9: Class 3 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 75 Million

(1) RAON SIRIUS was an 18/1 winner over this distance on February 23rd, coming from last to 1st in the home straight. He’s up in class here but has been consistently running well and a repeat isn’t impossible. (10) GLOBAL QUEEN was 3rd on her first try at this class a month ago and should be a contender again. She’s a front-runner and will need to overcome the widest draw she’s ever received but she’s got ability. (9) BIG EAR could only manage 6th behind Global Queen last month but her stable has come right back into form and she can get closer today. (2) GEOSEN MAPUNG and (5) SPEED IS KHAN are others with serious claims in what is a very competitive looking race.

Selections (1) Raon Sirius (10) Global Queen (9) Big Ear (5) Speed Is Khan
Next Best 2, 8
Fast Start 2, 4, 6, 10

Race 10: Class 3 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 75 Million

(9) HEUNG BARAM is a class and distance winner as recently as January and we’ll draw a line through his latest effort last month as he lost lots of ground at the start after jumping awkwardly. If he gets away better this time, he surely goes close. (5) LUXURY HAPPY comes in here in consistent form, albeit it is consistently finding one or two too quick. That may well be the case again today, but she won’t be far away.  (12) GUREUM SONJITHAE came home 4th behind Luxury Happy last time out (interestingly, the jockey weighed in half a kilo more than he weighed out), less than half a length behind, and will surely be competitive too. (1) MUSA and (4) SOJUNGHAN MANNAM are ones who can improve on their recent form and challenge for the minor money here.

Selections (9) Heung Baram (5) Luxury Happy (12) Gureum Sonjithae (1) Musa
Next Best 4, 10
Fast Start 1, 2, 9, 10

Race 11: Class 2 (1800M) Handicap / KRW 90 Million

(9) DOKDO JIGI has won six of eight so far and five in a row including at this class over 1400M last time. It’s a big test today though as he tackles two turns for the first time and a big test for apprentice jockey Moon Sung-hyeok who is brought in to keep the weight down. It’s a test both can come through. (10) FLYING MUNNING finally go this maiden win at the twelfth time of asking at the end of January. It came at this distance and while he is up in class, he is very nicely weighted and surely goes close. (8) SIMPLE LIFE may only have finished 6th at class and distance last start but the margins were tight, and he’ll be a threat here. (7) SARYEONI HEALING and (11) LEONNING STROM are others in the frame.

Selections (9) Dokdo Jigi (10) Flying Munning (8) Simple Life (11) Leonning Strom
Next Best 7, 12
Fast Start 8, 9, 10

Race 12: Class 3 (1400M) Handicap / KRW 75 Million

(7) THUNDER MARK was well-backed on his first try at this class and distance on February 17th, but he was fractious in the barriers, jumped awkwardly and raced ungenerously. Despite all that, he still managed to come 2nd. Moon Se Young, who rode him on his sole victory to date, returns to the ride and he has a big chance here. (1) MONEY BLADE finished 4th behind Thunder Mark last start. He has almost five-lengths to find on the favourite but should be good for a place. (2) TO GO WIN was 5th in the same race, a further two-lengths back, and she too can get closer today. (9) KILIUI JEWANG and (10) MALIBU GINGER are both up in class after good wins last time and while they will need to improve, can’t be ruled out of a money finish.

Selections (7) Thunder Mark (1) Money Blade (2) To Go Win (10) Malibu Ginger

KOREA : Busan Friday: Race-By-Race Preview (March 22)

by gyongmaman

The weekend’s Korean racing gets underway at Busan on Friday with 11 races from 11:30 to 18:00. Here are the previews:

RH7_2434

Race 1: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million

(10) BONINARA was a much improved 2nd on her second career start last month at this trip and she should push on here to make the breakthrough. She’s the banker favourite of the day but if she does come up short then (4) ANY GOOD DAY is the most likely to take advantage. She ran 3rd on debut three weeks ago, running on well and coming off the back off a positive trial performance in February, suggests she has plenty of potential. (1) YEONGGWANGUI KISS ran well on debut in December and while she didn’t impress on her return last month, she should have benefitted from that run and can be better today. (3) DAENARYS IJI and (7) MAJOR HIT others in the placing frame.

Selections (10) Boninara (4) Any Good Day (1) Yeonggwangui Kiss (3) Daenarys Iji
Next Best 7, 11
Fast Start 1, 2, 3, 10

Race 2: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 24 Million

(2) FUNKY has improved across three starts so far, all at this distance, culminating in 2ndplace a month ago. She will need to continue to make progress in what is quite a decent maiden, but she has a good chance. There are two debut-makers and (4) RAPTOR CORE looked nice and competent when winning a trial last month. It was on a wet track so the time may be a touch artificially fast but there’s no reason why she can’t be in the hunt first up. (5) TWO TWO FIRE has finished no worse than 4th in three efforts so far and can continue that consistent run here while (3) CHODONG DAEJANG looks to be figuring things out after an improved ran last start. (1) JIGURYEOK PALPAL, another last start improver is best of the rest.

Selections (2) Funky (4) Raptor Core (3) Chodong Daejang (5) Two Two Fire
Next Best 1, 11
Fast Start 1, 2, 3, 4

Race 3: Class 6 (1300M) Allowance / KRW 40 Million

(11) TOHAM IMPACT ran 2nd on debut on February 22nd and she can step up and go one better today. (12) NAEGA SAEGANGJA has finished no worse than 4th in three attempts so far and while he disappointed in wet conditions when odds-on favourite last time out, can be given another chance today. Those two look a cut above but (6) WONDERFUL IJI has shown steady improvement over three outings to date while both (9) USEUNG STORY and (10) FIGHT MAGIC have 3rd place finishes to their names already and shouldn’t be too far away here. (6) WONDERFUL IJI has also demonstrated some ability over three outings so far and can at least challenge for a place.

Selections (12) Naega Saegangja (11) Toham Impact (9) Useung Story (10) Fight Magic
Next Best 6, 8, 1
Fast Start 1, 10, 11, 12

Race 4: Class 6 (1300M) Allowance / KRW 24 Million

(7) DOCTOR WEEK looked ready to win after a 2nd and a 3rd to round out last year. He’s gone a little cold in his latest two but shouldn’t be written off yet. He’ll be on pace again and hopefully this time can stick to his task a little better. (12) SUN MOUNTAIN wasn’t ready on debut last November but looked far more accomplished on his return four weeks ago. He finished 4th in arguably a better race than this and is a serious contender here. (3) ULTRA POWER beat a couple of these on his way to 6th place last start and looks set to go closer here. (10) CHANGE BACK debuted in that same race and didn’t do too much wrong. There are two debut-makers and (9) DONGBANG NARAE, who finally appears on the track at age 4, looked good in a trial two weeks ago.

Selections (7) Doctor Week (12) Sun Mountain (3) Ultra Power (9) Dongbang Narae
Next Best 10, 2
Fast Start 3, 7

Race 5: Class 6 (1600M) Allowance / KRW 24 Million

Weak looking maiden here. (7) DYNAMIC BOLT and (2) DOCTOR MIMI finished 3rd and 4th with just a head separating them when they raced each other at this distance on March 1st. Both are likely to be on the early speed here and it would be a surprise if they weren’t competing the finish between them.
