At his side, two bullfighters in full spirit. First, Juan Leal, who is reaping the fruits of his 10e matador season: outings in triumph at home in Arles, Nîmes, ear in Peru, Zaragoza and Madrid, on June 2 against the same herd of Fuente Ymbro. Note that Juan Leal is the only French bullfighter engaged in the Pamplona feria which, like La Brède, will reopen its plaza after two years without bullfights, due to the pandemic.
The Fate of Dorian Canton
Finally, Dorian Canton (21), who triumphed last Saturday at Aire-sur-l’Adour. With a small stick, small pants, a small hat and a shirt, the kid Dorian took out of the barn every morning the 40 cows of dad, a breeder in Asson-en-Béarn. The horns, the hooves, the look of cattle, he has known since childhood. In 2009, he saw a bullfight in Béziers, the click. He enrolled in Richard Millian’s bullfighting school and fate set in motion for this lucid and courageous boy. All that was missing from his true earthman assets was the “toreria”, something that has been done since Dorian has Olivier Mageste as coach. The progress is enormous and the conquest will pass for sure near the castle of Montesquieu.
The program (Saturday June 25, plaza de La Brède): at 11.30 am, four novillos (SP) by Alma Serena and La Espera for “Juanito” and Cristiano Torres. At 6 p.m., six bulls from Fuente Ymbro for Curro Diaz, Juan Leal and Dorian Canton.
