The son of Portal del Alto shines in the 2400 meters of the Clásico Calidoscopio (L), where he will face Don Nipón
The traditional Wednesday meeting at Hipódromo de San Isidro will feature the Clásico Calidoscopio (L) as the main event, scheduled for 2400 meters on the dirt and for horses aged 4 and up, with weights assigned based on impression.
Only six horses have been confirmed to contest the trophy and the available prize of 7,750,000 pesos, with the standout entry being Look Portal (Portal del Alto), aiming to solidify his productive form and make a mark in the division, with an eye on future group races.
The maximum weight of 58 kilograms will be carried by the representative of Haras Cachagua, who comes off a solid victory in the Clásico Uruguay at La Plata, where he defeated Lágrimas y Sonrisas (Le Blues) by 2 lengths. Prior to that, at Palermo, he finished third, well behind El Kodigo (Equal Stripes) in the Vicente L. Casares (G2), and also completed the podium in the Ayacucho (G3), which was won by Endor Rye (Endorsement).
Look Portal faces the rising Don Nipón (Equal Stripes, 54 1/2 kg), who, after securing his third win in the conditional ranks, stepped up to the higher level and, for the first time, tackled the mile and a half, finishing second behind the unstoppable El Darwin (Il Campione) by 16 lengths in the Handicap República de Francia. Now more accustomed to the distance...
A pair of fillies are taking on the males: Flavie (Seahenge, 54 1/2) and Cleopatra Kal (Anak Nakal, 54), both with solid credentials and all the potential to cause an upset.
Flavie is comfortable at the distance, having finished second to Little Hidden Port (Puerto Escondido) in the 2000-meter Jockey Club de Rosario (G3) and Los Criadores (G2) at La Plata. Similarly, Cleopatra Kal, who typically comes from behind, recently won the Handicap Lombardo over 1800 meters, defeating Noche Plateada (In the Dark) by 1 length.
A step below, we find Gadzooks (Galán de Cine, 53 kg) and El Pulque (Heliostatic, 52 kg), who, supported by their light weights, will attempt to become the surprises of the race.
