Ippodromo del Mediterraneo, Siracusa: i due anni in pista a ricordo di Nuccio Sortino

 

Si ricorderà la grande passione ippica di Nuccio Sortino, sabato 8 settembre sui tracciati dell’Ippodromo del Mediterraneo. Saranno i cavalli di due anni ad onorare il panificatore ucciso nella notte  tra il 9 e il 10 settembre di due anni fa.  Ad ereditare il forte legame per le corse dei cavalli è il figlio Angelo, che consegnerà le coppe al vincitore della quarta corsa, una condizionata sui 1400 metri di pista piccola. Tra i giovanissimi, le più rodate e affidabili sembrerebbero Sharming Filly, Miss Concy e Madame Secret. L’unica alternativa sarebbe Intense Light, che ha sorpreso con una eccellente vittoria alla prima uscita sul tracciato siracusano. Altra condizionata impegnerà i 3 anni e oltre su 2100 metri di pista piccola. È il Premio S.G.A. Aste Selezionate 2018, che ricorda la presenza a Siracusa della Società Gestione Aste pronta a promuovere il prossimo appuntamento in programma il 22 settembre. La novità, e la possibile incognita della corsa, è  Justice Well, che se si adattasse al terreno aretuseo, potrebbe dimostrare tutta la sua qualità; lui che ha militato in contesti di certo più impegnativi. Grande forma a giugno per Special Rush, capace di mettere dietro i protagonisti del Premio Nastro d’Oro Saint Steven e Kingston Sassafras, valide alternative. Non escluso, per una piazza, Dreamstime. Appuntamento con le corse di galoppo alle ore 15.35

by gyongmaman

Saturday racing at Seoul sees 12 races from 10:45 to 18:00 and the eve of the Korea Cup and Sprint includes a number of international exchange races which are being contested for big prizes. The Melbourne Cup Trophy will be on display at Seoul Racecourse as part of its annual Tour.

It’s almost Keeneland Korea Cup & Sprint again!

 

Race 1: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 24 Million

(4) GOLD SEUTAK beat (11) SURFING POINT as the pair of them came home 3rd and 4thover this distance on July 7th. Gold Seutak has raced once since then finishing 6th in what was actually a very tight finish four weeks ago. Surfing Point could turn the tables today. The one they both need to beat is (2) FAPP CAT. She looks like she is finally figuring things out and recorded her best finish to date when 2nd over his trip in a similarly week race to this three weeks ago. She’s not very quick but might not need to be here. (5) SCARLET PERFECT also has a 2nd place to her name and could be involved while among the three first-time starters, (1) STRIDE UP looks the pick at this stage.

Selections (11) Surfing Point (2) Fapp Cat (4) Gold Seutak (1) Stride Up
Next Best 5, 3
Fast Start 6, 8, 10

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

An all the way winner on debut in June, (4) SHANGHAI JORDAN could only manage 3rdplace as favourite when stepped up to this class for her second appearance at the end of July. Although she got within three-lengths of the winner she was slowly away and never looked like being a threat. She’s drawn well today and should be returning to the winner’s circle. (8) MISS PYEONGCHON ran a solid 3rd place last time over 1300M and drops back in trip today. She’ll be a danger. (10) PERFECT SOCKS is a winner at this level already but has been lightly races since. She last ran in early June finishing 4th of 8 at this distance and looks nicely in here. (1) DOUBLE A and (3) VICTORY STAR are others who can compete for the placings.

Selections (4) Shanghai Jordan (8) Miss Pyeongchon (10) Perfect Socks (1) Double A
Next Best 3, 5
Fast Start 3, 5, 9

Race 3: Class 6 (1000M) Allowance / KRW 60 Million

Juvenile maidens and just two of them, (4) JEOKTO BIMA and (6) PARRHESIA, have raced before. Of the pair, Jeokto Bima was an improved 4th on her second start on August 19th and she will be among the favourites here. First-time starters are likely to be favoured though, principally (3) TRI THUNDER, who romped home by seven-lengths in a trial at the end of July. If he runs similarly today, he should be able to get to the lead and maintain it all the way through. (7) BARAMEUL GEURIDA also looked competent in trials, going round comfortably in a decent time in mid-August and he can be given a chance first up, as can (11) WONDERFUL DIXIE.

Selections (3) Tri Thunder (7) Barameul Geurida (4) Jeokto Bima (11) Wonderful Dixie
Next Best 6, 5
Fast Start 3, 7, 10

Race 4: Class 4 (1200M) Handicap / KRW 60 Million

A winner of two from four, (7) DOKDO JIGI returns from five months off, up in class but looking ready to add to his win-column. He looked good in a fast trial in August and should have too much here. (9) L CAR has won three out of six and while he put in a lackluster effort at class and distance a month ago is worth another try today. (4) CHEONHA HYEONGGUK ran a creditable enough 5th over 1300M on August 11th and drops slightly back in trip today. He won at this distance on July and should be in with at least a chance of the places here. (2) OUR CAT and (6) HEUNG BARAM look best of the rest.

Selections (7) Dokdo Jigi (9) L Car (4) Cheonha Hyeongguk (2) Our Cat
Next Best 6, 3
Fast Start 3, 6, 7, 8

Race 5: Class 6 (1300M) Allowance / KRW 24 Million

He’s finished 4th and 2nd in his two starts to date and (3) CHANGSEONG LUCKY shouldn’t require much in the way of luck to make his maiden breakthrough here. He can get off to a fast start and lead all the way. (4) SPHAERA runs best when she gets on pace early and starting from just outside the favourite, that’s what she’ll be trying to do today. She could stay on for a place. (5) HARD PRINCESS and (6) GEUMBIT HWANHYANG both come in off the back of fair efforts and they too should be looking for a place. (1) GANGSANUI ACHIM the best of a limited rest.

Selections (3) Changseong Lucky (5) Hard Princess (6) Geumbit Hwanhyang (4) Sphaera
Next Best 1
Fast Start 3, 4

Race 6: Class Open “Horse Racing Ireland Trophy” (1400M) Allowance / KRW 100 Million

Valuable prize here and lots enter in good form but it would be a surprise if (9) GALAXY POWER didn’t run out the winner. There was no disgrace in being beaten six lengths by the excellent Gaon Champ over 1200M last start and while he is yet to win at this distance, he ran a close 2nd in the CHIA Trophy in June. (3) CALLIOPE was 4th behind Galaxy Power in April but has come on since then, winning his latest two including one at this distance. He’ll be on pace early and can be a danger to the favourite. (14) CLEAN UP TEUKGEUP was an also-ran in the Korean Derby but returned to form running a close 2ndover 1800M in July. He drops back in trip today and is in with a chance. (1) YAHO SMART CAT was a good winner at this distance last start and will join Calliope on the early speed while (12) WONDERFUL CHAMPION is up in class following a victory at             Read more of this post

Quality initial entries announced for Goffs Champions Sale 

 

 

A Group and Listed winning three-year-old filly and an impressive winner of a Curragh Maiden head up the initial entries for next week’s Goffs Champions Sale in association with Brown Thomas which takes place before racing at Leopardstown on Saturday 15 September.  The next few days could see plenty of high class sale prospects emerging and the complete catalogue will be announced after the weekend.

Jim Bolger’s Cimeara, from the family of Goldikova, has won her last two starts in black type races at Leopardstown and looks a high class prospect for staying races or international breeders.
 
Michael O’ Callaghan has his winning 2yo daughter of Dark Angel, Angelic Light, who was a decisive winner of a large Curragh Maiden last week, while the same trainer also offers Carbon Fibre, a 2yo colt who was runner up to Ballydoyle Classic prospect Ten Sovereigns.
 
A four time winner Dawn Hoofer and two other eye-catching maidens, Mary Salome and Will Be King make up the entries at present. The latter was also a winner of a Dundalk barrier trial, a concept introduced this year by Irish Thoroughbred Marketing.
 
All horses will be offered with a pre-sale vetting and entries will be taken until the day of the sale.  For more information visit www.goffs.com.
