BOZZELLO<\/p>\n<p class=\"M8rfQ bTSJG bIc1y -Gy9d\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-jjotz14039\">The relentless generosity of\u00a0Elvitas\u00a0finally found its worthy reward. Making every step count in her preferred front-running style, the daughter of\u00a0Cosmic Trigger\u00a0wired the field in Saturday&#8217;s\u00a0Cl\u00e1sico Eudoro J. Balsa\u00a0(G3, 1600m, soft turf) at San Isidro, firmly establishing herself among the country\u2019s top milers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"M8rfQ bTSJG bIc1y -Gy9d\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-re0o716089\">Always competitive in major races since early in her career,\u00a0Luciano Recuero\u00a0made the most of a track profile that heavily favored speed and front-end runners, setting up Elvitas for a commanding performance. The bay filly quickly assumed command, opened a clear lead, and never looked back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"M8rfQ bTSJG bIc1y -Gy9d\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-414g416093\">In the stretch,\u00a0Same Treasure\u00a0(Treasure Beach) made a bold attempt to challenge, but faltered late, surrendering second to favorite\u00a0Fiesta Porte\u00f1a\u00a0(Fortify), who closed steadily to finish 1 1\/2 lengths behind the winner. Same Treasure had to settle for third, just a neck back, with\u00a0Candlelit\u00a0(Equal Stripes) finishing fourth. Undefeated before this outing,\u00a0Gigantograf\u00eda\u00a0(Bodemeister) faded to seventh, well behind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"M8rfQ bTSJG bIc1y -Gy9d\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-r4ik616111\">Elvitas stopped the clock in 1:35.49\u2014nearly a full second slower than\u00a0The Great Racing\u00a0(The Great Day) would later register in his 2000 Guineas (G1) triumph over the same course. The race unfolded through splits of 25.27, 48.45, and 1:11.85.<\/p>\n<p class=\"M8rfQ bTSJG bIc1y -Gy9d\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-rzvbb16117\">Bred by\u00a0Haras La Madrina\u00a0and trained by\u00a0Jos\u00e9 Lofiego, Elvitas had previously finished second in the\u00a0Cl\u00e1sico Carlos P. Rodr\u00edguez\u00a0(G2) and third in the\u00a0G1 Estrellas Juvenile Fillies. Her record now stands at 5 wins from 15 starts, with earnings of ARS$35,337,900.<\/p>\n<p class=\"M8rfQ bTSJG bIc1y -Gy9d\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-qbdsf16127\">Elvitas is the first foal out of\u00a0Excellent Bid\u00a0(Asiatic Boy), a daughter of the G2-winning\u00a0Excellent Note\u00a0(Editor&#8217;s Note), descending from one of the prolific branches of the\u00a0Family of E, the same influential female line behind The Great Day and other top-level runners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With a resume full of merit, the dark bay homebred by\u00a0Haras La Madrina\u00a0struck gold over the turf at\u00a0San&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-27210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
