Meeting number seven of the first meeting of the 2024 season was held this Sunday, February 25, with a schedule of ten competitions, where there were no selective or grade tests to be held, and the national 5v6 game was activated in the fifth test. of the journey.

In the first valid of the national 5y6, which was run at 3:10 in the afternoon, at a distance of 1,300 meters, the horse El Pequeno José won, ridden by José Alejandro Rivero and trained by Ismael Martínez, who performed the course of the test in 81.2 and generated a payment of Bs.71.60 to the winner.

In second place came the thoroughbred Forty Time, a boarder of Ramón García Mosquera, and driven by professional jockey Rafael Solano. We mention the first two, because these horses were involved in a curious event at the Rinconada oval, which did not happen normally. similarly, more than 50 years ago.

Little José and Forty Time, both are products of the stallion Roger Rocket, out of the mare Miss Forty Niner, by Eskendereya, that is, they are full brothers in father and mother. Roger Rocket is a stallion at Haras Los Caracaros and among his products, he also has the winner of the Simón Bolívar International Classic, 2023, Rod Hendrick, trained by Fernando Parilli Araujo.

Another of Roger Rocket’s sons is Bravucón, out of the Chester House mare Pine Shelter, who is a winner of the Sprinters Classic last season. This curious fact had not happened in the Coche oval since 1966, the year in which the Cuadra Ocho and Chasqueado horses came 1-2, in a ninth race, at a distance of 1,200 meters, in the Sabio Rafael Rangel trophy, in the framework of the Bioanalyst’s day of that season. Cuadra Ocho was ridden by Balsamiro Moreira and Chasqueado by VM González.

The similarity is that these specimens were children of the same mother; Cuadra Ocho was an Argentine mare product of the British stallion Banyan in the Argentine female Petronila by Petrarca, who campaigned in the country, and became the three-year-old champion in 1965, while Chasqueado was the son of the British Chivalry in Petronila by Petrarca.
