BOZZELLO<\/p>\n<p class=\"LThh9 tL1tz t3L08 qufKF\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-byuza1099\">The first clash with elders could hardly have left a sweeter taste for\u00a0Sarzana Pass. Confirming all she had shown against her own generation,\u00a0El Alfalfar\u2019s\u00a0filly stamped herself as a force in the G3 Cl\u00e1sico M\u00e9xico (1000m, dirt), turning back seasoned rivals to climb into the upper tier of the local sprint division.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LThh9 tL1tz t3L08 qufKF\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-d42i02335\">In a high-pressure affair, the daughter of\u00a0Distinctiv Passion\u00a0proved her grit, collaring\u00a0Eleven Mile\u00a0(Il Campione) in the shadow of the wire to reclaim the winner\u2019s circle and propel herself into the conversation among the best speed fillies\u2014no small feat given the depth of young talent in the category.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LThh9 tL1tz t3L08 qufKF\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-grhou2343\">Her victory was no surprise, though it was earned with merit. Settling early, she built momentum as the race unfolded, showing the kind of determination and power that refused to concede. At the 200-meter mark she still had work to do, but her relentless rally carried her to the front when it mattered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LThh9 tL1tz t3L08 qufKF\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-mtlra2345\">With\u00a0Gustavo Calvente\u00a0back in the irons and trained by his father\u00a0H\u00e9ctor, the bay broke sharply before settling just off the heated battle between heavy favorite\u00a0Lagoa Azul\u00a0(Lenovo) and\u00a0Candy and Giant\u00a0(Giant\u2019s Pleasure). As they turned for home,\u00a0Lagoa Azul\u00a0edged clear, but both\u00a0Eleven Mile\u00a0on the inside and\u00a0Sarzana Pass\u00a0up against the rail pressed hard. The trio fought all the way to the line, with\u00a0Sarzana Pass\u00a0asserting late for a half-length score.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LThh9 tL1tz t3L08 qufKF\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-hifmq2367\">Madame Bic\u00a0(Puerto Escondido) closed strongly to be a valuable third, while\u00a0Lagoa Azul\u00a0faded to fourth by a nose.\u00a0Flamboyance Rim\u00a0(Remote) checked in fifth, and\u00a0Candy and Giant\u00a0trailed the field, looking in need of a return to her preferred turning sprints. Final time was a sharp :55.87, an excellent clocking under the new Buenos Aires timing system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LThh9 tL1tz t3L08 qufKF\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-paiky2380\">Out of\u00a0Genovesa Key\u00a0(Key Deputy),\u00a0Sarzana Pass\u00a0now boasts five wins from eight starts. With her r\u00e9sum\u00e9 growing,\u00a0El Alfalfar\u00a0looks to have a sprinter capable of carrying its silks much further in the division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The\u00a0Distinctiv Passion\u00a0filly earned a brave and significant victory in the G3 Cl\u00e1sico M\u00e9xico The crowd could almost reach&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":90641,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-90640","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\/90640","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=90640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90640\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
