In The Sky came from behind, ran a lot on the straight and won the Classic Blue Prize

In The Sky, ridden by jockey Adrián Giannetti, won today, by two lengths over Queen Plum, the Clásico Blue Prize, a 1,200-meter test with a prize of 390,000 pesos that was run on the fifth round of the meeting at the Argentine racetrack in Palermo.

The winning mare, a daughter of Agnes Gold, paid a dividend of 7.65 pesos per ticket and used a time of 1m 07s 78/100 for the twelve blocks of grass.

It was a full-length finale for In The Sky, which came last until the entrance to the straight and ended up winning a fantastic race. His last 500 meters were spectacular as seven rivals passed to finish reaching the disc with great joy from his rider Adrián Giannetti.

Indomita Seattle started at the top and tried to win from end to end. Could not. With 200 meters to go, he ran out of air. It was followed by Puré Indira, Queem Plus and Hennie Six.

Thus, in that single file, they reached the straight. Indomita Seattle got on the side of the sticks and tried to get away from her followers. From behind they pressed Puree Indira and Queen Plum.

To all this In The Sky began its climb or its great run over. Indomitable Seattle stopped in the final 200 meters. Anyway the air reached him to get in third place. Queen Plum found her opportunity but was surprised by the low flight of In The Sky, who made several dribbles to reach first place. It was something like a movie. Only in American movies do you see these things!

They were two lengths ahead in favor of In The Sky over Queen ‘Plum who, in turn, beat Indómita Seattle by half a length. The sets were 22s 36/100 for the 400 meters and 44s 54/100 for the 800 meters.

A great task for Adrián Giannetti, a jockey who takes courage, takes risks and is handsome when he should be. Today he was and achieved a victory that many will remember.

In The Sky today achieved its fifth official victory out of fourteen races. The stud mare Rdi had a brilliant performance in a very difficult race. He had to dribble all his rivals, just like Maradona did against England in the World Cup in Mexico ’86. (Télam)
