LA PLATA - In the absence of Forest Gump (Hurricane Cat), who appeared as a great candidate, Look Portal did not miss the opportunity and gave continuity to his ascending moment reaching with solvency the best victory of his campaign in the Clásico Uruguay (2000 m, normal sand), the best race of Tuesday at the La Plata's racetrack.

Over a distance in which he had not competed since mid-March 2024, and making his third appearance here, the son of Portal del Alto did nothing more than confirm the great level he had been showing in the stayers division.

Adopting an aggressive posture, the Stud Cachagua's horse was always chasing the leader Dubai Appeal (Dubai Thunder) along with Rumor de Fuego (Daddy Long Legs). On the irons of the winner, Kevin Banegas got tired of waiting on the back stretch and began to attack the leader's position at the beginning of the turn, which he managed to dominate with 600 meters to go.

Already in the straight, Look Portal took the middle of the track and from then kept the advantage to Rumor de Fuego and Lágrimas y Sonrisas (Le Blues). At the finish, it was 2 lengths over the mare, with the remaining finishing third, with the rest within striking distance, all in a time of 2m7s65/100.

Nicolás Martín Ferro tuned up the bay bred by María Isabel Solveyra and Patricio Donovan, who managed to meet again with the triumph after almost 4 months and a half.

First offspring of the mare Nevada Stripes (Lookin At Lucky, who only raced once in San Isidro and with a family imported from the United States, Look Portal confirmed his stayers conditions and at 4 years of age, he is starting to take advantage of the logical process of maturity, especially when it comes to run with a good level in long distances, where the development of the lung has its times.

Nice panorama from now on awaits Look Portal, with whom his connections will surely have a lot of fun in the classics for long distance runners.
